No disrespect to the legendary fast bowlers of the past, but Jasprit Bumrah is just something else. Even they wouldn't disagree!.

The way Rinku Singh has been dropped from the 15-man squad is exactly the reason why India haven't won the T20 World Cup since 2007. The player who has aced the most difficult and demanding role in T20 cricket didn't deserve to be dropped. Lack of understanding about how T20.

I find it so funny that Yashasvi Jaiswal still can't find a place in the ODI squad. How do you leave out such a player who is born to dominate that format! I know he will be there eventually once Rohit and Virat make way, but he deserves to be in the squad right now.

Many issues in the Indian squad for T20 World Cup 2024. - Rinku's omission obviously the worst mistake.- I feel Natarajan deserved a place ahead of Arshdeep.- The batting lineup lacks a finisher. - 4 spinners were not necessary.- Siraj's form and ability in T20s concerning. -.

KKR have finished where they were supposed to, but Rinku Singh has exceeded my expectations this season!. Nearly 500 runs in IPL 2023 at approx. 60 Avg and 150 SR! And all of it has come while batting in a demanding middle-order role! What a player! Surely, he is going to serve.

Ramandeep Singh has been such a great addition to this KKR setup. I don’t think we are talking about him enough but he has played some great cameos this season - 35(17) vs SRH, 24(9) vs RCB, and 25*(6) today vs LSG. He is someone KKR can rely on even if Russel and Rinku misfire.

I don’t think KKR would have been in this position at this stage of the season without Phil Salt. It's ironic that a talented player like him went unsold in the IPL 2024 auction. He has scored nearly 400 runs this season now at a SR of around 180. It's not like anyone wasn't.

Tilak Varma will surely get fast-tracked into India's T20I squad post T20 World Cup 2022. The lack of good middle-order LHB options will help his case, and he has the necessary range to score against spin in the middle-overs.

Ramandeep Singh adds so much value to India's batting lineup. If Hardik doesn't get you, Rinku will. If Rinku doesn't get you, Ramandeep will. This is the best 5-6-7 setup for India in T20Is. Much like the KKR setup. #SAvIND.

Deepak Chahar is an upgrade on Bhuvneshwar Kumar when you consider his batting ability. He offers the same new ball value as Bhuvi & also more suited to the T20 format as a batter. Neither of them are offering death bowling value. Better to play with Chahar in the XI? #INDvSA.

RCB will make a huge mistake if they release Siraj into the auction pool. An Indian pacer who can be good both with the new ball and at the death isn't easy to get. Moreover, it will be tough to get the players of your choice with two extra teams involved now. #IPLretention.

With Jasprit Bumrah ruled out of the T20 World Cup, it becomes even more important to have R Ashwin in the Playing XI imo. Harshal + Bhuvi + Arshdeep looks certain as the pace bowling trio now, but it lacks death and middle-overs reliability that Bumrah provided. Ashwin. (1/2).

Venkatesh Iyer is a different gravy in the Playoffs. - 55(41) vs DC in IPL 2021 Q2.- 50(32) vs CSK in IPL 2021 Final.- 51*(28) vs SRH in IPL 2024 Q1.- 40*(12) vs SRH tonight and still counting. Temperament really goes a long way when it comes to delivering in crunch games.

What is this KKR destroyed Kuldeep theory? And how do you even come up with it? . Kuldeep's bowling was found out after a certain period of time. Batters were playing him with ease. He hadn't improved for a long time and that's why KKR had to look for better options. (1/3).
