Nothing more frustrating than watching the top order bat at run-a-ball, only for the middle order to inherit a required rate of 14 and be blamed if they fail.
387/3 at Lord's, where the average first-innings score is around 258. You can debate tactics all you want, but it's hard not to feel Bumrah's absence. He makes the entire bowling attack look better.
Imagine Rohit Sharma scores a DOUBLE HUNDRED at Lord's after reports saying he's not in the 2027 World Cup plans...
Will the selectors still have the courage to leave him out? 👀🏏🐐
🚨 NO ROHIT SHARMA FOR WORLD CUP. 🚨
- Lord’s could be Rohit’s final ODI as the selectors have conveyed him he’s not part of the 2027 World Cup plans. (Express Sports).

Virat Kohli answers with the bat. Rohit Sharma doesn't.
Kohli: 65 (66)
Rohit: 26 (47)
Now reports claim Rohit isn't in India's 2027 World Cup plans.
If age and performance are really the criteria, then this isn’t even a debate anymore it’s just the obvious conclusion.
Vikrant Gupta & Rahul Rawat brutally roasted Indian cricket:
-Tilak Varma didn't deserve the vice-captaincy; Zimbabwe performances secured his spot.
-Fastest 50s/100s came only on flat tracks.
-Abhishek Sharma & Vaibhav Suryavanshi are just blind sloggers.
Double standards?
Sanju Samson was dropped after just 3 failures.
But Ishan Kishan's last 6 T20 innings:
4 (6), 13 (9), 49 (40), 0 (2), 12 (11), 1 (5)
That's 6 chances, and still no questions about his place in the team.
Why is it always Sanju who pays the price?
