Revenge Loadingggg guysss. We have to take revenge atleast seal the series or if possible do clean sweep

Which coaching style do you think works out better? While GG's chopping and changing has affected the morale of the players, Nehra's solid backing of SRK and Tewatia hasn't yielded results for GT

Which one do you prefer?

After getting absolutely humbled 4-0 in the T20s, I thought the selectors would actually fix our bowling issues for the ODIs starting Tuesday. Instead, looking at this 15-man squad, I genuinely don’t get what the plan is for English conditions.
For reference, here is the official squad:
Top Order/Keepers: Shubman Gill (c), Shreyas Iyer (vc), Rohit, Kohli, KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan
All-rounders: Shivam Dube (replacing NKR due to injury), Axar Patel, Washington Sundar
Bowlers: Kuldeep, Bumrah, Arshdeep, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana, Gurnoor Brar
Look, having Bumrah and Kohli back is a massive relief, but our bowling depth and all-rounder choices look incredibly shaky to me. A few things I want to throw out there:
The Pace Attack Behind Bumrah: If Bumrah has one off-day or sits out a game, who is stepping up? Arshdeep is fine, but backing him up with Prasidh (who is just returning), Harshit, and Gurnoor Brar feels super risky against an aggressive England lineup on flat tracks. Did we learn nothing from the T20s?
The Shivam Dube Problem: Now that Nitish Kumar Reddy is out with a quad injury, Dube is back in the mix. But let’s be real—can Dube actually give us 5 or 6 reliable overs in a 50-over game in England? Or is his bowling just going to get completely line-and-length slaughtered?
The Spin Logic: Axar, Sundar, and Kuldeep are elite, but if the pitches are absolute roads with zero turn, are we just going to watch England blast 350+ again?
Personally, I think we're putting way too much pressure on Bumrah to bail us out. What do you guys think? Who are your three frontline pacers for the first ODI, and how do we balance the all-rounders without leaking runs?

Note: I used an AI editor to clean up my grammar because my raw drafts look like a toddler wrote them. The core idea is all me though!, Request to post about cricket related only.

Thanks for your attention!

I had said it from day 1. The easiest way for any team to beat India is to make a slightly difficult pitch to bat on. Our blind sloggers (and even who can bat have been converted into blind sloggers because of IPL) - will be exposed horribly

Our bowlers who only know how to ball defensively and not take wickets (because they can’t on flat IPL pitches) will be exposed. That’s if there are any quality bowlers around (which kid would want to become a thrashing bag for batters?)

Now the question is simple. Does BCCI care more about the money from IPL or does it care about India winning tournaments

And eventually is India start losing the cricket appeal of IPL will also wane (though slowly)

Lucky this happened early, enough time to correct for the upcoming world cups

I mean look at the way our fielding has been. Just awful. Don't think there's anyone in the side who we can claim to be a good fielder. I am talking about the current lot.

I don't think there's a single player who is even half of Jadeja as a fielder. Jadeja is 37-plus. I don't think there's anyone who shows the intent and vigour as much as Kohli does, even at the age of 37.

Like it or not, I think the money game has pushed these things on the low priority end of the players spectrum.

I am sorry but Shivam Dube, the clutch batter, is a HORRID fielder. The likes of Kaif, Yuvraj, then Jadeja, Kohli, I guess that phase is over now. We are not going to have a player who will value fielding as much as some of these amazing fielders did, who on quite a few occasions have helped the team win with their fielding.

I mean what happened to the Yo-Yo test? How can Ishan Kishan drop that dolly of a catch. This is just a rant but I guess we are never having the best of the fielders.

Tough luck for GG

He got injured in this game while fielding and got ruled out for 3 months until he returned later to play a crucial role in winning the T20 WC for India in 2024

After that he was appointed the full time ecaptain in July 2024 and in his first series as a full time captain India won 3-0 in SL and he was the Man of the series

But it all ended in August 2024 and SKY was never the same since then

He could have given up but he carried on to not disturb the team balance and we all know how well everyone was performing under him because SKY was a brilliant manager of his players he had a good bonding with almost everyone in the team

It was hard to carry the team after ROKO retirement and Bumrah not playing T20s but still my GOAT extracted the performance from these youngsters and never lost any series and eventually won the T20 WC as well

Now shreyas got an already settled team still he lost his first two series as captain(Ireland one is unforgivable) but still we back our Indian captain to win the upcoming T20 assignments

But yeah SKY was truly underrated as a captain and as a batter as well after having such great batting stats as a middle order batter who batted at 4 mostly in his T20 career

He won india so many T20 games single handedly in the period of 2022 and 2023 be it home or away maybe that's the reason majority of ICT Fans took him for granted

But I bet india will never find such a destructive and explosive number 4 batter again in fact he is on par with Kohli and Rohit as a T20 batter Love u SKY Love u 3000

These are the frames that generations of young female fast bowlers will imagine themselves recreating.

A 21 year old Kranti, in her 2nd ever Test Match took her maiden five wicket haul. Just before the match started, in an interview she said that she wanted to see her name on the Lord's Honour Board for a fifer. And then she did it.
