@Yapping_inc @JibinPBabu001 So, you mean Hasaranga, Theekshana, Farooqi & Rana were Dravid’s calls, while Suryavanshi, Jurel & Archer were Sanga’s? Right?

And if all were Dravid’s, RR would’ve been out of the playoffs this year if even 1 of them wasn’t there, irrespective of Sanga the “team maker”.

@rncunc @writetofahim Some folks in Australia and England might disagree with you mate

[Shwetank Dixit @dixitshwetank]

@s27527278 @akakrcb6 How funny it is that all the bad decisions taken by RR last year were entirely attributed to Dravid, while every great decision is seen as not just influenced, but actually directed by someone else.

[Shwetank Dixit @dixitshwetank]

@iomrishabh Would have been the case, had they bought another top OS pacer and had they not gone for Nabi with full force. 1 out of Duckett and Nissanka will play, and with 2 out of Nattu/Mukesh/Nabi playing, there is only 1 OS fast bowler slot available. It has to be 2 finishers in XII

@serialchiller23 DC fans usually stay low key. Not much to brag about given the team’s performance. We are quite habitual of management's stupidity & can predict the randomness (Depending if it's GMR or JSW at helm). Will suggest u to check out the DC SubReddit as well, good discussions there.

@Nexusofjoy If Sanju goes into the auction, he is almost certain to go to KKR as direct swap to Venky Iyer.
Sanju-Narine-Rahane-Raghuvanshi-OS Player-Rinku-Russel-Ramandeep with Sanju captain. Rahane can be replaced mid season if not performing well.

@movieman777 @udit_buch Luckily Head got that Rohit Sharma catch else Dravid would have been remembered as the coach who won 2 out of the 3 ICC finals of 3 formats with in a year 🙂

[Shwetank Dixit @dixitshwetank]

@Nexusofjoy Still want to give 1 more year to Badani? This has been one of the most incoherent and clueless Coaching staff I have seen in ages.

[Shwetank Dixit @dixitshwetank]

@ABXD_DC Opening bowlers usually get decided in the dressing room itself. Badani should share equal blame for all this buffoonery

[Shwetank Dixit @dixitshwetank]

@sinha7605 @Nexusofjoy Faf was a backup opener at the end of Auction, and he should have remained the same. Brook's replacement should have been a middle order batsman only. KL should have batted at max at 3. Rohit Sharma failed more no. of times than JFM. It's proper musical chair with us

[Shwetank Dixit @dixitshwetank]

@harshit53706385 @Nexusofjoy My point was, we could have had Pant for 20Cr, and the same super team would have been a Super flop team. It was not like Ponting didn't know how to build a good team in auction (Built a much better team for PBKS). 5 retentions were enemy for RR, CSK, KKR and SRH & advantage DC

[Shwetank Dixit @dixitshwetank]

@sinha7605 @Nexusofjoy 6 different opening combinations in 11 matches. If it is due to form then CSK might have had the same. It's easy to blame players. The team combination (Especially for top order) has been extremely poor.
And as far as making dream team, it was all because of KL coming at 14

[Shwetank Dixit @dixitshwetank]

@arpitnair07 @Nexusofjoy This mega auction has been very generous on teams retaining very few players. RR lost their super team in this auction, similarly we lost our super team in 2022 mega auction.
See the kind of squad he made for PBKS this time around from scratch.

It's not about Badani's strategical skills, KL coming at 14 was a surprise and helped us immensely

[Shwetank Dixit @dixitshwetank]

@mandakini_ It has been the same story from sometime now. Dishant Yagnik should be help accountable. Not everything can be blamed on Dravid. It was same last year as well.

[Shwetank Dixit @dixitshwetank]

@mandakini_ @KumarSanga2 Mandy, as per the video released by RR, retention/auction decisions were taken by everybody including Sanga. They conducted several meetings and Sanga was definitely involved. 22-24 was RR dream team due to 22 auction where RR had less retentions, it was opposite this time

[Shwetank Dixit @dixitshwetank]

@cosmosyatri @gurkiratsgill They go with 6 batsman and 5 bowlers while batting first to explore the possibility that in case they don't need the 7th batsman as impact player, they can bring the 6th proper bowler in the 2nd inning. Did same thing in RR vs DC match last year.
