Surprising that Umesh Yadav or Shami was not picked for the final game. Intriguing, why ravindra jadeja is a preferred choice despite his poor show in IPL & throughout CT 2017. Why,Indian team is persisting with Dhoni though age has started showing up. Indian team needs to be overhauled. Very few would have complaine, Had they lost like a true warrior but such a meek & abject surrender is beyond imagination.

Also ganguly choose bowling vs lank in kolkata, lost terrible.any final must go for batting first .
Yuvraj is a burden on the fielding side,he drops catches,dives after the ball has passed him,or dives the wrong way.Getting into the national side because of cancer sympathies is not correct,expecting Yuvi to click once in a blue moon is a big risk. Secondly Rohit is an overated player,he is a sitting duck for a left arm pacer like Amir,Starc,Boult who bowl at 145 kms/hr.He has an inert weakness against sheer pace.And finally the Kohli,Kumble discord is an open secret, and this has definitely hit our cricket team. Had India been in the other group chances are we would not have reached the SFs,weather not playing a spoil sport.This defeat will teach the team to come down to earth,and view opponents seriously.

Nowadays most of our overated cricketers have become money minded, it appears that the IPL saga has not winded up. Moreover,our team has been playing at home for the last one year, and it is well known that we are tigers at home,and lambs once we go abroad. Unfortunately our cricket fans consisting of 85% those who have never held a cricket bat, become thrilled whenever we demolish our opponents at home.Even under Dhoni(rated as India's best captain ever)we were white washed each time in away home series, therefore it is no surprise that we lost,because the pitches abroad are quicker,bouncier,and aid lateral movements, which are our batsmen's(Rohit,Dhawan,Raina) weakness. On such wickets Rahane would have succeeded.Moreover Ashwin needs tailor made pitches for getting wickets,abroad pitches are not to his relish.Unless you are a genuine spinner like Warne,Murlidharan,Prasanna,or a Zahir Shah, you are bound to fail.
There were rumours that the betting is around 6000 crores India have won the toss but as said by imran khan he suggested if pakistan won the toss they should opted to bat first becasue he told indians has strong batting line up but my question is why India opted bowl though he Imran Khan warned pakistanis not to bowl first if pakistan win toss.
Let us accept that and be sporting. We lost more due to indiscipline than anything else Bumrah's repeated overstepping, Aswin's galore of wides, six chances of direct throw run outs and what hurt me most was the cruel run out of our hero of the day. Pandya blasted six sixers and was rushing for his century. He could even get the MOM award but for a lazy Jadeja refusing to run. Stop the craze for our media made heroes and look for the deliverers.
MEDIA IS USING A DOUBLE STANDARD...... AGAINST D BANGLADESH .........MEDIA GIVEN A LIFE TIME HYPE THAT SO SIMPLE DECISION TO GIVEN A BOWLING TO KEDAR JADAV...( THAT DECISION MADE BY MSD ) ..... & IN FINAL WHEN DHOBHI IS OUT ON 1 RUN , THAT THERE NO ONE BLAME ON HIM. HE SHUD STAND THERE SPECIALLY AFTER THE WKT. OF YUVRAJ ....BUT HE FAILED ...... LOOK AT THAT PANDYAS INNING...........
