@Vibeyseagull@badlesedin1 And the results have pretty obvious for all of us to see. I have a strong hunch that the dressing room environment isn't helping many players.
Backfoot play for spin balls fuller than 6m:
Sai Sudharsan: 35%
Others: 22%
Common pattern in his spin play in his short career. Afg spinners are bowling at 80kmph. Lyon/Murphy/Kuhnemann will not be this easy to adjust to.
Jaiswal replacing Kohli more or less confirms that GG played Ruturaj vs SA only so that Pant doesn’t play. When Shreyas returned, Ruturaj got dropped and now isn’t getting picked even when Kohli got ruled out. Both Pant and Ruturaj are unfortunate victims of GG’s politics.
@veturisarmaalt Yeah. Yeah. But practically it wasn't in his reach anyway, given his decline. But if he wants to fight for his place, who's stopping though. Fair game ig.
So Samson and Ishan not sure starters in the XI. But Shreyas is. Wonderful!
In other words, they don't have leadership credentials. But Shreyas has. But where? One trophy as captain when Sunil Narine was in god mode.
