First the basis of selection fromT20 is the basic fault.None of the current batsman can play like Virat Kohl who sealed one end with his defense while allowing Pant to score Coming to the captaincy, KL Rahul who did not establish in Test cricket was made captain, it is obvious he should establish as a good batsman!!.Looks like a dumb fellow
Team India did not get proper replacement of strong middle players like Yuvraj , Dhoni , Suresh Raina as it was 6-7 years back .
This Pant many times throws his wicket by attempting wayward stroke at crucial juncture . Shreyas Iyer does not take the game till death overs as MSD use to do . Hardik Pandya , Surya Kumar Yadav , Manish Pande to be tried .
DURING LAST VISIT WE DECIMATED SOUTH AFRICA IN SOUTH AFRICA 5-1 IN ODI SERIES IN JAN -FEB 18 , EVEN WITH PLAYERS LIKE De Villers & Du Phelesis ON THEIR SIDE .
