@PleadingPretty@trueupdates7@GemsOfCricket I said we already wasted some world cups previously with these mediocre players and India finally ended with their best option. I'm not confused, you are.
@PleadingPretty@trueupdates7@GemsOfCricket Agree that Samson is inconsistent. But apart from Kohli, who has consistently replicated their IPL form in WCs? IPL isn't about piling up runs. It's where you identify talent,matchwinning ability, and temperament. That's exactly why players like KL, SaiSu and Gill are overlooked.
@trueupdates7@GemsOfCricket Let him speak up for whoever he believes deserves justice. If you think others have been treated unfairly raise your voice for them too. But that shouldn't come at the cost of humiliating a World Cup champion or negating what he's done for the team.
@PleadingPretty@trueupdates7@GemsOfCricket I agree he hasn't been the most consistent, but calling him 'the most' is a stretch. Also apart from the '26 version of Kishan which wk has truly been consistent? Rahul? Pant? They have'nt even won anything for India or their franchises in T20, yet they got enough backing.
@trueupdates7@GemsOfCricket Understood bro. Maybe it's because he's been going through this for years, and people have seen his hard work and repeated sidelining. Now they're noticing similar treatmnt with Patidar, Ruturaj etc, but those cases don't yet have the same proof of evidence at higher level as him
@trueupdates7@GemsOfCricket Yes, it's a team game. But does the current team have the dynamics of a champion side? Is the captain eligible to be so? Are we backing and dropping the right players?
If things go horribly wrong, these questions will be asked. That's exactly what Ash did and you went against it.
@trueupdates7@GemsOfCricket That was a knockout match, if I need to remind you. Without that innings, India would've been knocked out. Understanding that only requires common sense. I never said he scored all the runs, but without his contribution India would've probably lost to West Indies by 50/60 runs.
@trueupdates7@GemsOfCricket I saw everything and didn't say the word 'alone'. I said without him it was impossible. I think YOU missed the match Vs WI. Also why can't Bumrah, Pandya etc. couldn't win against SA in that same WC? Oh, wait POTT didn't play that match. Talking about logic.
@trueupdates7@GemsOfCricket Should I remind you that he won the World Cup, which was the tournament immediately before this tour? His scores there were higher than the combined total of some of the "protected" players in the last match. I'm not talking about any other formats or any non WC winning players.
@trueupdates7@GemsOfCricket Did they drop Abhishek after 3 ducks in WC? Or Dube or Tilak or Kishan despite their mediocre returns? Unless every batter in the XI is of Vaibhav's caliber, there's no justification for even benching Sanju. He's comfortably better than players currently getting a longer rope.
