Asia Cup is over. The next big tournament is Cricket World Cup in England
in 2019. However, it is doubtful that the Indian team is fully prepared for
this tournament? Indeed, the top order of the Indian team and the bowler are
consistently performing well, but the middle order is not able to. From 2017,
the team scored 11, 241 runs in 10 one-dayers. In this, the contribution of
middle order (4, 5 and 6) is just 2 thousand 887 runs. It is only 25.68% of the
total run.
Better performance than not being able to
middle-order for five years
1.
The
problem of not having a good run of the middle-order in Team India remained
only after Yuvraj Singh's illness in 2013. During this time, Manish Pandey,
Ambati Rayudu, KL Rahul, Dinesh Karthik, Suresh Raina and Ajinkya Rahane were
all tried at number four, but could not prove to any criterion.
2.
In
the medal for the World Cup, any two, from Rayudu, Manish, Karthik and Mahendra
Singh Dhoni, can be given place in the last XI. Manish will cut the World Cup
ticket only if he performs better in domestic cricket or in the upcoming ODI
series.
3.
Apart
from Mahendra Singh Dhoni, no other batsman has been able to play consistently,
but recent figures are not supporting the former captain. Dhoni could not cross
the 50 mark once in the past 17 ODIs. He had put in the last half-century in
the Champions Trophy.
4.
In
the last 19 months, the middle-order batsmen have just managed to score three
hundreds. Three centuries came out of the series against England in January
last year, Yuvraj, Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav. After that there was not a single
century.
5.
At
the sixth and seventh places, Jadhav, Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja can be
selected from any of the two. Kedar's performance was correct as a batsman
against England in January last year. At the same time, Pandya could not do
anything after finishing the half-century in the Champions Trophy final.
6.
India
won the Asia Cup title Apart from many things for him in the tournament, Ambati
Rayudu's excellent batting is positive. Rayudu played ODIs almost two years
later. Put two half-centuries. He scored 175 runs in six matches. Rayudu was
also in the best form in this IPL. They can be fed at number four.
7.
India
can send 18-member team to World Cup Of these, six batsmen, two wicketkeepers,
three all-rounders, two spinners and five fast bowlers can join. Rohit Sharma
and Shikhar Dhawan are fit for the opening. Lokesh Rahul will be a better
option in the absence of any of these. Virat Kohli's place in third place is
fixed.
8.
The
performance of the first three batsmen is better than the middle-order. Of the
11, 241 runs of the team, 6 thousand 948 runs are just names of the initial
three batsmen. Therefore the team management will not be more concerned about
the upper order.
9.
Three
players have debuted for India in the last five ODI series. These include
Siddharth Kaul, Khalil Ahmed and Deepak Chahar. They can stay in the Khalil
team for a long time. Being a left-handed fast bowler is in their advantage.
Players Against match wickets made Run
Siddharth Kaul England 3 0 1
Khalil Ahmed Hong
Kong 2 4 1
Deepak Chahar Afghanistan
1 1 12
10.
After
the retirement of Ashish Nehra in the Indian team, no left-handed fast bowler
was found. Khalil gave the team success with bowling the round the wicket
against the old ball against Hong Kong. He has four wickets in two matches.
11.
Two
spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Yuswendra Chahal are scheduled to play in the last
eleven. At the same time, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jaspreet Bumrah will remain as
two fast bowlers. If the Indian team draws five bowlers in a match, then
another fast bowler can be included in this.
12.
Potential
18 members for the World Cup: Virat Kohli (Captain), Rohit Sharma
(vice-captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Lokesh Rahul, Ambati Rayudu, Manish Pandey,
Dinesh Karthik (wicketkeeper), Mahendra Singh Dhoni (wicketkeeper), Kedar
Jadhav, Hardik Pandya , Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuswendra Chahal,
Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Jaspreet Bumrah, Khalil Ahmed, Shardul Thakur, Mohammad
Shami
