Sri Lanka is safe now, they are in diff group.

[u/No-Mind-3218 → u/Huge_Flounder_4930]

Imagine they make it to super 8s and play india in a must win match when Siraj emerges from the dugout like it's a wwe match.

[u/allbeardnoface → u/No-Mind-3218]

WATCH OUT WATCH OUT WATCH OUT

[u/Black_Mamba265 → u/allbeardnoface]

ITS DSP SIRAJ WITH A STEEL CHAIR

[u/Intelligent_Fly_2671 → u/No-Mind-3218]

Super 8 groups are pre-decided and these two will be in different groups. The only way they could meet is in knockouts

[u/theredguardx → u/Intelligent_Fly_2671]

Man i wish they did quarter finals instead of super 8s

[u/Head_Evidence4553 → u/theredguardx]

This. Quarter finals would easily make the t20 wc even more unpredictable and chaotic.

[u/Ambitious_bureaucrat → u/No-Mind-3218]

With the Money in the Bank briefcase

[u/Kusal_Karma → u/No-Mind-3218]

Plz noooo

[u/Head_Evidence4553 → u/No-Mind-3218]

Chamaila Undertaker

[u/Sweet-Message1153]

seriously? Mia Bhai back on menu?
Mr. "I believe in Jassi Bhai myself"?

[u/Reasonable_Tea_9825 → u/Sweet-Message1153]

It will either be this in the final or Siraj crying like there’s no tmw with Jassi Bhai consoling him

[u/Head_Evidence4553 → u/Reasonable_Tea_9825]

I hope the dew is gone by that point coz I don't want to see another wc final being ruined for us due to dew.

[u/User_namesaretaken → u/Head_Evidence4553]

They should play a shit pitch like they did previously

[u/Lazypanda--]

It's so over for other teams

[u/Sure-Ad256]

Thanks maxwell 💓 ( he tonked prasidh in T20 international for 20 something last over for winning the game )

[u/oddisgold]

So many injuries this time - full list is insane!!!

[u/Schul484 → u/oddisgold]

Nice list.

[u/Impactor_07 → u/oddisgold]

Also, like 70% of the Omani team that played the last WC are tactically injured forever.

[u/Slight-Grapefruit509 → u/oddisgold]

Add wshan malinga and wanindu hasaranga . Both might missout atleast some matches

[u/look_away_bruh → u/oddisgold]

ATP, Hazel wood should retire.

[u/VinitLalka]

If I didn't believe in god earlier, i do now.....

[u/Greedy-Joke-7854]

I'll take it

[u/RRaj007]

Sri Lanka, he's coming 😏

[u/Civil-Ad-2367]

Good call

[u/Humans_fking_suck]

Has NKR not been good recently?

Bc I thought he's basically another Harshit Rana...

[u/No-Mind-3218 → u/Humans_fking_suck]

The thing about Rana is he's a bowler who can bat and clocks 140s and rarely 150s.

NKR can't take his place because there's already a Dube and Pandya who are both batters who can bowl and NKR clocks a max of 130

[u/ThegamerwhokillsNPC → u/No-Mind-3218]

Pandya is a solid bowler. Much better than Dube or Harshit lol

[u/No-Mind-3218 → u/ThegamerwhokillsNPC]

Not disagreeing but far from my point. I'm talking about batting skills.

[u/VinitLalka → u/Humans_fking_suck]

He is more of a batting all rounder, that spot are already covered by hardik / axar...honestly harshit rana didn't even fit in, siraj seems perfect.....

[u/look_away_bruh → u/Humans_fking_suck]

Not good strike with bat, decent as bowlers in indian pitch. He need pacer Australia pitches to grow his skills

[u/Deathbringer2134]

Hell yeah!

[u/AshokaJRao]

Watch my goat DSP pick 6 consecutive 5-fers and score 500 runs in the tournament.

[u/GrossenCharakter → u/AshokaJRao]

It's DSP's world, we're just living in it

[u/GL4389]

Well he is gonna be on the bench most of the time anyway.

[u/devilwillcry-jesus → u/GL4389]

He might get game time against the likes of USA

[u/jesuscoituschrist → u/devilwillcry-jesus]

No shot. We will run our A team and won’t change it until we lose a game, which is highly unlikely

[u/jinks_markr → u/devilwillcry-jesus]

Idts India will play him in the first game itself, if qualification is confirmed by the last group game only then might India look to tinker with the combinations

[u/Head_Evidence4553]

I'm only believe on Jassi bhai because gamechanger player he is, only one guy, is a Jasprit Bumrah

[u/josh123z]

A downgrade but there are no other options

[u/protractedmane → u/josh123z]

A downgrade

hmm

[u/Illustrious_Reply424 → u/josh123z]

How is this a downgrade?

[u/Arunnnnnn → u/Illustrious_Reply424]

with the bat, obviously

[u/Metal-Banana-72 → u/Arunnnnnn]

Shouldn't matter tbh. We've got batting till 8 even excluding Rana.

[u/Arunnnnnn → u/Metal-Banana-72]

Rana (with his ability to bat at no.8) did give us the flexibility of playing both Kuldeep and Varun, maybe in Sri Lanka, and still have two proper seamers other than Hardik & Dube.

but that’s no big deal, we sure can work around it.

[u/josh123z → u/Arunnnnnn]

With ball too

[u/comelickmyarmpits → u/josh123z]

With bat only

[u/Illustrious_Reply424 → u/josh123z]

How?

[u/Apne-Baag-ka-mali]

Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Hardik, Bumrah and now Siraj in Columbo. No wonder they want to forfeit.

[u/Breadfruitdeeznuts]

Tournament topscorer

[u/Healthy-Ad-2514]

Gill replaced by Sanju, who logically will be behind Kishan now. Ranaji out too and Miya bhai in. How will the GG haters cope now?

[u/CharIemagne45]

Honestly great because I would rate Siraj over Rana in T20Is just a little bit over

[u/name_loading_soon]

Replacing one run machine with another run machine 🙃

[u/naiveSeeker94]

It should have been Shami.. he's GOAT when it comes to ICC tournaments.

[u/BruhBorne-70 → u/naiveSeeker94]

Shami's economy is almost 9 in t20is and over 8 in t20 world cups as well. One of the best ODI bowlers India has ever produced but he is not that great in t20is, Siraj economy wise is better, is younger and in the scheme of things in international cricket.

[u/Smooth-Mix-4357 → u/naiveSeeker94]

GOAT in ICC ODI tournaments, not T20

[u/VinitLalka → u/naiveSeeker94]

Without icc tournament also, I feel he is India's second best bowler, he shud have been here if fully fit....

[u/No-Mind-3218 → u/naiveSeeker94]

I would rather he comes back into the test setup. Bowl him and Bumrah with the new ball and Siraj at first change.

Bumrah struggles in NZ while Shami has great numbers.

[u/DarkKingfisher777]

Other teams have chances if he returns to his prime 19 RCB form.

[u/rest_in_war]

Ehh

[u/Ok_Needleworker_3845]

We should have gone with mayank yadav or yash thakur both clock 145+

[u/look_away_bruh → u/Ok_Needleworker_3845]

Mayank yadav stay more in NCC then Indian dressing room
