@CriccketNews18 I have no memory of Bairstow ever being a half decent white ball player, except for the Nightmare day in every KKR fan's memory where he helped chase 260 . But nothing else . Not one good innings . Obviously his stats say otherwise
@OversLife I used to believe this BS because the patriot in me would refuse to beleive all Indians were slow bowlers ,back in the day, then I watched the England Test Series in 2011 , no NEO involved.
You've got to be really thick in the head , if you beleive BCCI didn't actively step in and tell him we're not looking at you for the T20 World Cup 2021 , anymore.
It's almost as naive as believing, he stepped from captaincy in 2016 himself. I used to believe it , I was a fanboy after all . But seen enough of him , now even former selector during the process Jatin Paranjape has said, he was asked to step away in 2016 . I am sure this story will come out later as well .
But Delusion mubarak. Mahi Bhai toh mere liye God Ji hain .
The team tried many a combination like Shubman, Jitesh & the one you pointed out , before the final working formula.
If you chose what's best for you in the end after trying everything you have , you can't really be blamed . Gambhir has taken many such calls in white ball , like Varun Chakravarthy in CT 2025 , it worked & you can't really complain now .
Coming back to your point after 2025 Australia T20Is , Harshit was arguably better than Arsh . I love Arsh , but it's the truth.
Rohit , Kohli were lucky & disciplined enough to not fugg themselves with IPL money greed .
Manish Pandey , Jadeja recovered from it , after suffering a bit . But Hardik , Pant & I would say even Shreyas completely ruined it for themselves. Hardik leaving GT being the worst of the lot . Would have an emporer, the King of the Tribe over there . Could have been the franchise's Gambhir
They could perhaps rename to World T20 Championship or something. It is obviously the go to format for cricket to expand , anybody with a half a brain understands that .
ODIs suck from a viewer engagement POV. It's pure boring 8 and a half hours of buildup for a maybe interesting last half hour . That maybe is a reducing percentage day by day. The climax of ODIs are not as interesting. Very few reach that peak. Perhaps they can think of introducing pink ball & 40 overs . ODI World Cups remain interesting only because of the qualification scenario, but that exists even in T20 World Cups now .
WTC needs to be like they had planned in 2019 , not what it became with the fuggall introduction of PCT . Every team against each other 3 match series , that's it .
@HardCricketpix I really wish he had won the WTC. GOAT of Test Cricket is a settled debate that he isn't winning, but deserved to be part of a Winning Test Team.
Except the 2018 BGT, there was nothing too glorious from a non individual POV. He deserved so so much more, especially as leader
The pitch and Dhurandhar & Alpha are completely different.
Dhurandhar is like Munich . Alpha & YRF Spy Universe films are like Bond/ Mission Impossible.
Even with full awareness of this distinction, all YRF Spy films after 2012 suck
@utd4lifemate3 100% sure AI generated, and the way bollywood creatives are not ashamed atp to use it , these cheap mfs from a bankrupt channel wouldn't bat an eye being uncreative cucks
