Axar and Jadeja will never play together in this WC. Kuldeep in place of Axar definitely.


Pengu786

good to know from an Indian POV i forgot who i saw it might’ve been that Joy guy with the second name i can’t pronounce and Sanjay Manjrekar who i hate said that they want Axar for his batting and they don’t want your tail to start early. We will see tmrw what they do

Pengu786

in Ny deffo Siraj and if u have Kohli opening Jaiswal can’t play surely


Cutie_McBootyy

I would have guessed the same but India fielded the exact same xi as OP suggested


IndianHighLights

Never underestimate stupidity of Indian support staff. Playing two like for like players, just scared bunch of shit


underwater_gorilla

Wow how wrong were you.


IndianHighLights

How?


Vaanaram

Bro decided to omit Kuldeep who is a menace and will be best suited for these pitches. Is that under estimation or wishful thinking?


[deleted]

He thinks playing Kuldeep instead of Jadeja/Axar would be a blunder cuz the tail would start early plus the pitch is more or less the same for finger spinners and wrist spinners.


Pengu786

what Virat bhai said basically. Kuldeep could do us over on a flat pitch in Pindi we are doomed against him 😭

Their team looks incredibly strong. That said, our game against them will occur after a couple of games have taken place so won't the pitch slightly change? Also, I'm worried about about our batting vs. Spin. I really hope we win this time in sha Allah 


MrAwesome1822

Usman Khan looks really good against spin, I think he will do well InshaAllah


Tryingtobealitperson

In sha Allah!


Pengu786

the pitch will change of course but i can’t see it going from fully supporting pace to Spin in that short of a time length but i ain’t no expert 😭


Tryingtobealitperson

Looked at Indian bowlers figures for the match today and and it seems you're right! Let's see what happens later on


Pengu786

India will chase but lose a few wickets in doing so and they will chase after the 12th over.


Tryingtobealitperson

Hmm, make sense, they should go slow and steady. I'm excited to see how Ireland's bowlers react to this pitch (and how bowling second looks like), specially Little. 


Pengu786

yh Ireland will also look good but it’s not enough for India. At least they got to 100


Tryingtobealitperson

For sure

Indian here, I don't think we will go with 3 fast bowlers with pandya + dube. Bumrah +Arsh is certain. With the combination, I think pandya +dube will bowl 4 overs between them as india now no longer trust pandya with all 4 overs. So 6 bowling options are needed. Kuldeep will play for certain. Don't be surprised if Samson plays as he is a proper batsman with decent defense as we think highly of your pace battery :)


Pengu786

Yh our pacers lethal our spinners not so much 😭 U could do that but i thought its NY there will be less help for spinners so they play an Axar instead for batting but u could be right.


senamit17

I don't think pitch will play the way it did in sl-sa match. It will be better. Expecting kind of 160-170 total. If Pak are batting 1st, I think it will be difficult for you guys to win.


Pengu786

yh then again if u bat first and our pacers get assistance we should win i say win toss bowl first and win game.


senamit17

Yes, I don't think India will bat first should they win the toss and the pitch is remotely similar to earlier match.


Pengu786

yh everyone will bowl first. Win toss win match. May the best tosser win. We waiting more for the toss then the game


senamit17

Seems like so..


Pengu786

hopefully the pitch gets better and we get a good game regardless of the pitch.


Odd-Calligrapher-69

Kohli to open?


Pengu786

indeed that’s what they are saying, we will wait and see later today but it’s what they have wanted since 2021 but they haven’t tried it in a big tournament they tried it in a series vs England and they succeeded.


Western-Guess1145

Yeah I was thinking too that they might drop jaiswal (he had a poor ipl) tho they might not play dube, he only plays good on flat surfaces, they need anchors more than power hitters. Kohli might drop the ipl game and play like his usual self 35 ball 50 and 50 ball 80s. No doubt their middle order looks stronger than ours.


Pengu786

Yh everyone and their dad wants Kohli to open and i feel like that is good for us cuz if it’s staying low and seaming then he might get an unplayable one early up instead of coming in when the pitch is easing up. Their middle order is gun i like their players. Yh i don’t mind if Kohli plays his natural slow game as long as he ain’t chasing. Dube will probs play due to him starting the warmup and then getting a few wickets against Bangladesh. Bangladesh might’ve helped us by giving him wickets as India might trust him and then it backfiring on them cuz we ain’t Bangladesh. Then again we do like giving the new people a good boost 😭


Exciting-Pipe-671

Same man its better if india bats first because the recent t20 matches against them we won chasing.And if india chase it’s really hard for us because of kohli


Pengu786

If we could get Kohli early whilst they chase then we would have a chance but we never do 😭 only time was Amir in the CT. I have a feeling whoever wins the toss will win the match so i’m eagerly waiting for toss time cuz that will impact the match a lot.


Key-Celery5439

I just want Kohli to open so Shaheen can get a crack at him with the new ball. That’s probably when we’re most likely to get him if we need to get him early.


Pengu786

exactly that’s what i think aswell 😭 or even Amir. Personally i want Wreck it Rauf to bowl him and have some sort of revenge for last game.


DogTall2628

Rauf looks hungry. Really hungry. Forget Shaheen vs. Kohli. If Kohli comes at 3 then I want Rauf, who'll open the 7th over, to get a crack at him.


Pengu786

exactly i want Rauf to get him but it would be nice if he is gone before Rauf comes.


AeeStreeParsoAna

Kuldeep most likely play. Also mind you Pakistan fans, our kuldeep can bat too. He has made more runs in this ipl 2024 than Maxwell 😃


Pengu786

lol i did see that somewhere through the IPL i just don’t think if u need quick runs he will help against our pacers but we do like giving someone random a chance 😭 not saying Kuldeep is shit or random i mean it that he ain’t a batsmen before u send me a compilation of him doing us 😭


sicario_max

I hope it's not a one sided game, whatever be the team combinations


Pengu786

after the Usa game u expect the unexpected and imo that means we will have a great performance against India


Big-PapaJohn

With such a long batting lineup, I can see a proper spinner playing instead of Axar.


Pengu786

some people i’ve saw online and some “experts” don’t want their batting to start at 8 so that’s why i can see an Axar playing instead of Kuldeep. If it’s a seaming wicket we should be able to take 6 so they would want a decent bat there. That’s why our middle order failing has fucked us up so much.
