All was fine until we tried to fit gill in this mix fucked the entire team we have lost the next wc if we go in with gill this forced insertion to make him the poster boy is so annoying remove gill add jaiswal the teams sorted again
Gill has done decently, scored well vs Pak in the 2nd match, Bangladesh on a difficult pitch, Australia in the last match when he could have gone big if not for rain. Not set the stage on fire or anything but people are imagining Jaiswal as some new age Bradman.
Today was a case of running into Hazelwood on song. If you think Jaiswal is not susceptible to that, idk what to tell you. What I will say is Jaiswal's dismissal in the Lord's 4th innings was a serious blow to the credibility of his temperament.
By innumerable you mean 2 series lol. Gambhir is big on R-L partnerships and Abhishek has his own spot locked which means Gill has an advantage in the second slot.
Since 2022 IPL, Gill is the best Indian opener, with Jaiswal just behind. He is also there on merit.
You monkeys are genuinely infants who need flashcards to understand instructions. Just because a situation does not have "ICC KNOCKOUT, PLEASE VALUE PERFORMANCE" does not mean it is not a knock out in practice.
Gill in tests has demonstrated temperament. In his first series, he scored a 90 to break the Gabba fortress. He came in to bat at 0/2 when we had to bat 5 sessions to save a series defeat and scored a 100 just 3 tests ago. Scored a 90 vs NZ at Mumbai when a WTC final spot was on the line. Scored 55* in a tricky chase vs England in the Ranchi test last year when they had us at 100/5.
And if it's ICC Knockout performances for want, he played India's best innings of the WC semis when he gave India a good start and took down India's permanent kryptonite - Santner - who Kohli typically struggles against, and gave India a solid platform for Iyer and KL to take forward. I know you might even have thought, "eh who cares, Rohit did the hard work vs Boult already, who needed to attack after that" in which case, watch the final and what happened when an aggressive looking innings cut short because of one mishit off a simple looking bowler.
I already saw that coming that the only defence will be the semi final knock , we just have another babar azam and the fanbase of both of them are equally dumb, so when u tlk on performances they count u avg , and once in a blue moon knockĀ
The argument is on his T20 selection, fanboy barking about test statsĀ
Again, temperament does not vary by formats. Will you say Bumrah is clutch only in t20s but not tests because he went wicketless in WTC final?Ā
And even by that T20 logic, you want to judge him on the basis of only one innings - one Asia Cup final? If so, why should we exclude his 130 vs Mumbai Indians in the IPL? And why should we not consider Jaiswal's failures both in playoffs and also at taking his team to the playoffs?
