New Zealand tour of India 2024

I know but that should be ideal team. I looked how bad was Jaiswal in South Africa. He won't succeed in Australia as well. Sai Sudarshan is must at top of the order along with Easwaran. Paddikal and Gaikwad, one of these can bat at four. Gaikwad can play a role of Kohli in red ball cricket at four and in white ball cricket at four. He is actually mix of Iyer and Kohli. Paddikal have to wait as I see Gaikwad captaining over Pant and Gill. Gill doesn't look captaincy material. Pant is clueless about review decisions. Gaikwad is instinctive captain just like MSD(I wanted Shreyas Iyer to be captain after Kohli left the captaincy, but he has back issues and his return of ODIs looks difficult now, there are better players around). Rohit was dependant on Kohli and other players to have this record( Also for tactical decisions Dravid was there, Rohit just used to execute it). That's why he lost this series. Even though Gambhir is just T20 success, I feel we should give him one year atleast to work with players. Assistant coaches are good. Nair has worked with Rohit in transforming his white ball game after 2011. Nair has worked with so many young players like Rana and Angakrish Raghuvanshi. I guess he worked with Dinesh Kartik as well after 2016. So results are there to see. I believe he can bring best out of Pant and Gill in test cricket. I don't know about Jaiswal. We will have to wait now Jaiswal under Rahul Dravid for one year. Morne Morkel has worked with Pakistan bowlers for two to three years and they have been good attack except for fitness. Shaheen is not performing due to ankle issues, he lost pace as well. I hope, Haris, Dahani, Naseem Shah, Shaheen and Wasim Jr make good attack in WC27. So Morkel will be good in developing Akashdeep and Harshit Rana. Maybe Siraj as well. Bumrah+Siraj can play test cricket for two cycles more, if they just avoid ODI bilaterals between two WCs.


At home, you can try Ricky Bhui and Baba Indrajith as these are the best players of spin after Cheteshwar Pujara I believe. But for that, Ashwin, Rohit, Kohli and Jadeja needs to go. Maybe Rahul as well. But I will give consistent run to Rahul in BGT. If he fails to score atleast two centuries I will drop him.

Me trying to answer questions that I don't know in exams just to fill up the pages

AHEAD OF the home Test season, the selection committee wanted top Indian players to get some match practice in the Duleep Trophy, as preparation for the home series against Bangladesh and New Zealand, but they refused to play the domestic tournament citing “lack of motivation”, The Indian Express has learnt.

Before home series, selectors wanted top Test cricketers to get match practice at Duleep Trophy, they said no

According to sources, when Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ravichandran Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah didn't participate in the Duleep Trophy, the selection committee decided to release Ravindra Jadeja, who had agreed to play in the domestic tournament.

Now interesting to see how many current indian team players back to play Ranji trophy next round match which on 6th nov or chose spent time with family

Nobody. They want to leave Australia by 10th or 11th. Too much chaos.

Please read the comments again. Virat wants to play till 2028(Test cricket). Rohit and Kohli both wanted to play ODI cricket till 2027 WC. Gambhir don't want either of them even now.

I am not able to find his interview. But he wants to retire at 2027-2028 from test frame. It was around 2022 or 2021 WC. Not so sure.

It was in different video for tests and Olympics being there and then after few days article came out with medal being in mouth, with meme or whatever, where he was doing breakfast with someone, I don't know the name of the anchor. He even criticized Gill. Talent is there but he is not even where I was at 25 or something. These were exact words. Try to find out that video.


There are two sides of coins. Whatever coming out in media is not the situation always in dressing room. Whatever happened, I just told you. It's upto you to believe it or not.

@JackYU I don't know about you, but I have been watching cricket since 1997 or 1996. Sachin scoring against Warne in Middle East. So I have decent knowledge about cricket.

It's same thing happened after 2011 WC. We were tired after WC and team wasn't prepared for England tour as well as Australia tour. We took half fit, Zaheer Khan and RP Singh and Praveen Kumar to England who wasn't at their best. Dravid even though he scored, he was past his prime. I don't know whether Laxman and Pujara played in that series or not, Raina played and almost everyone got out miserably. Before Australia, Dravid and Laxman announced retirement and suddenly there was vaccum and everyone was expecting 0-4 to Australia. And that's what happened. Because transition in India doesn't happen slowly. It happens overnight. After MS, we went to Wriddhiman Saha and then Naman Ojha. Then DK and then Rishabh Pant. Then Ishan Kishan, Jurel, Srikar Bharat and Rahul as well. It's too much circus. Should not happen this way. Also, we took Australia, half fit Zaheer, Ishant, Umesh and I guess Vinay Kumar. Vinay Kumar didn't picked up single wicket. I have watched that 300 from Pup ball to ball and he just thrashed Indians. He was leading scorer that year as well. Same thing happened now. First WC loss and then WC win. Virat doesn't wants to play England series. Neither wants to play domestics as well. Can you imagine he last played in 2012? Sachin improved even in last phase of his career acoording to his limitations and faced Lee, Johnson on that 2008 tour. Virat has forgot skills and forgot to improve on. Jadeja even though he performed this year, he is rusty since three years. Doesn't look threatening. Same with Ashwin. He had to use doosra/carrom ball to pick up Glean Philips and not conventional off spin, the way Sunder bowled in second test. It's time to move on from these players. Rohit has forgot to play test cricket the way he played 2021 in England. Both Rahul and Rohit. Leaving the ball was art and it was mastered by Vijay and Pujara. We dropped both at right time. Why can't we drop these four? I don't understand. Rahul still has time, but why can't we let go these four? Shami isn't part of Bengal squad either. Why can't we take more fast bowlers instead of Ashwin and Jadeja. Nitish Reddy is not proper all rounder like Shardul Thakur or Hardik Pandya. He can't bowl at 135 like they used to bowl. We should have taken one more fast bowler instead of Nitish. He might succeed in England but I doubt in Australia. At the most, he can score runs but wickets, I doubt. We have created lots of mess since 2019 WC. It's time to move on from these guys frankly speaking.
