Its a complete joke that performing players are being dropped and non performers are being given a 100 chances.

[@ChandraMama_Kathalu]

Why should pujara...ajinkya....ashwin not play??? When other non performing players are given an extremely long long rope????? Not fare...

[@aadesh7]

@@ChandraMama_Kathalu yes. Ashwin averaging more that Rohit and Virat in Tests over last 3 years! Just in batting he is better nevermind the bowling. The team has become a joke. Selectors are spineless and clueless.

Reddy has both scored important runs and picked key wickets so far in this series.He doesn't have Thakur or Pandya's pace but he can be effective.He looks a motivated cricketer and will only grow with time.He needs to stay

[@GopalakrishnanSambamoorthy]

Reddy may be treated as pure batsman and very few innings he played reveals a true class in him. Already there more dead weights in the team unnecessarily

[@CricInd-es2pn]

According to Manjrekar opinion, even Ben Stokes is a bits and pieces player because nobody remembers when last time he scored a century or took 5 wickets.

[@Evolution_Tamil]

He can do both on his day but dropping nkr is insane 😅

[@ritikbhagat8456]

I don’t agree with his views on NKR, experienced batters have not been able to score 120-130 still NKR gave important 40-50 runs. Also in last test he showed he has good defence skills. From bowling point of view, I agree that his bowling is not yet good enough to be considered as a full time 4th bowler.

[@ashwinprakash3615]

Drop Rohit Sharma and let NK reddy play …

[@anuparnoacharya5779]

Captain can't be dropped

[@KG-gs5xj]

I disagree with Manjrekar's opinion on getting a batting all-rounder who can score 80 or 90 runs at No. 7 or 8 and also take 5 or 6 wicket hauls. Instead, non-performers like Rohit, Virat, and Gill should be dropped, and players like Reddy should be given a chance. Reddy batted exceptionally well until all the other batsmen got out, leaving him without support when he needed it most. How can you expect him to score 80 or 90 runs under such circumstances? Don't forget, he also took 3 crucial wickets and bowled very less overs as compare to top 4 bowlers. Manjrekar's opinion seems quite misguided 🤡

[@sumbdi]

How its realistically possible for a batting AR to score 70-80 runs and plus take wickets especially if ur a spinner toh

[@venkateshs5366]

Drop gill instead of NKR to make team balance

[@murlimenon2291]

Gill may get dropped to accommodate Washington.. Rohit bats at no. 3

[@sundarr457]

Absolute rubbish, Manjrekar s idea to shelve Reddy, who has been our best, confident batsman this tour, so far, given the way our top order batsman been failing.....the only way to add balance and flexibility to the playing XI, is to drop Gill, bring in Washington Sundar, as Wash can contribute with his bat, better than Gill, who has done nothing yet.... Wash s off spin can pose problems to the left handers of Aussie batting line up..... don't even think about Harshit Rana, if you are serious about winning in MCG.....he is our next generation Unmesh Yadav, leak runs from all the sides

[@pranavreddy4450]

Even Umesh Yadav is tons better as he was a genuine wicket taker, with due respect to Rana. At least drop Gill and bring Sundar or Prasidh Krishna, depending on the conditions

[@vimalramachandran]

@@pranavreddy4450 Prasidh has been tried several times and he has failed constantly. I'm not sure why he continues to be picked for every series.

[@Parthiban-bk1do]

Stop this nonsense for removing nithish Reddy from playing 11. Nithish should get a chance.

[@saiprakash523]

Manjrekar doesn’t have the guts to say drop Rohit / Kohli or Gill. Instead he says drop Reddy. Reddy has actually been India’s most consistent batsmen. He has looked most confident among the bigger names. Experts like him will destroy a talented player’ s career. Agreed Jadeja played well but why target Reddy ? Also, Harshit is definitely not reliable. Might as well try Krishna. He’s tall and bowls 140 kmph.

[@anishramakrishna5046]

At this stage put nitish in top 5 and he will definitely score more than other batters

[@sagarsaxena6318]

It's not Reddy's fault that he's being asked to bat at No. 8. He has had little support in most innings and thus had to score keeping in mind that the batter at the other end won't last much. Idk if he can score 120 or no but he has played 2 extremely crucial knocks for India given the context. It makes no sense to drop him.

[@vox-populi-vox-dei-]

I'd have dropped influential Gill for Nitesh. Nitesh is the second highest run scorer in this tour so far. Nitish brings more all-round abilities whereas Gill neighther can bowl nor can field well. Nitish, Washington, and Ravindra would have been a deadly-trio combo for India. I don't know why BCCI onboard young people and dumb them without a long rope as in the case of Sanju Samson, Washington Sundar (last four years), and Nitesh (today), Mayank Markande, etc.,

[@sanketkulkarni2390]

Harshith Rana played only 12 1st class matches with economy 4 in tests at first class level… why not give chance to Mukesh kumar??? Who has played 49 first class with economy 2.89 and avg 21.2??

[@RohliSKYVirma-cr9uy]

I agree with you 💯. GGs fetish for allrounders made him pick Harshit as bowling allrounder 😅. But Mukesh is better than all of them even better than Siraj😅

[@pranavreddy4450]

Should look at Prasidh krishna

[@shubhamtandon9129]

Mukesh is too slow for Australian pitches / international cricket in general

[@sanketkulkarni2390]

[@vimalramachandran]

@@sanketkulkarni2390 Mukesh played both India A unofficial Tests against Aus A and failed to deliver. Boland is tall and can extract bounce, which Mukesh can't. Also, Boland is much more accurate with his lengths compared to Mukesh.

[@malamsingh1944]

Poor choice to choose Harshit over Prasidh. When things don't go your way, you need to be calm and consistent which we didn't see from Harshit. Meanwhile, Prasidh is in Aus since India A matches and he took 5-6 wkts in those matches with long spells. He also got extra bounce due to his height. Also, he is looking good in nets as per the info coming from various insiders. So, if India wants an extra pacer it's a pretty simple choice to go with Prasidh Krishna. But dropping NKR can also be a double edged sword, he is pivotal as batter down the order

[@vimalramachandran]

Prasidh bowls short and leaks runs; so him taking a few wickets wouldn't even matter. That has happened in every opportunity he has got. Travis Head might hit another easy century with Prasidh bowling.

[@RohliSKYVirma-cr9uy]

Can Gill , Rohit can get a 42? Did they give that confidence, Forget 120 which you have required from Reddy , drop one of them Reddy on current form can replace if Ash/Jadeja can be dropped these 2 are not even closer to their 20% of achievements to keep playing after every failures in test cricket

[@ChandraMama_Kathalu]

Absolutely... Team is losing but they drop good players...and stick with the popular ones even though they don't perform for a very long time in different aspects..

[@athreyiraj9356]

Leave aside score 42 runs can they play 40 balls without giving away their wicket 🤷‍♀️NKR can bat, bowl and gun fielder as well. But this is not cricket but movie so they need megastars only for showbiz

[@vimalramachandran]

More than making runs, Reddy has shown the correct attitude by not allowing himself to be bogged down by the Aussie quicks. That's what needs to be acknowledged. His grit and determination are what might come in handy once again for us.

[@wesleyjohnmathews3098]

If Rohit wants to win this match play with reddy. If they dropped him sure india will lose this match.. Drop Gill or Rohit why reddy?.. Reddy should play in Gill's spot

[@ganeshk6120]

Its fair point frm Manajerakar. Nitish if he can 3 wiks and can get 80 90 runs consistently then he can play.. So we need to get sundar or any other seamer based on conditions.. Bse jadeja is playing mainly batsman . Reddy can get 1 wik if batsman make mistake.. So bowling look weak. We need one more bowler who can strike which will be good support for 3 quicks

Remember Nitish Kumar Reddy is in good touch, he knows when to hit and last test he played more balls comfortably than other batsmen’s, more over picked key wickets in this series so far, bad luck Rohit dropped sitter of Travis Head when he was in 70’s in the bowling of Nitish kumar Reddy.

[@GANESHVISWANATHAN-pf8pn]

Prasidh krishna is better option than Siraj,Rohit has to learn his batting technique from his own game he played in Australia few years ago and he has to play straight drives rather than hook shot or cover drives until he gets well settled.

[@WhatifwithSRB]

I think he has gone out of mind. It was nitish reddy who looked apart from any of other batters and you drop your best batsman just to make balance. Its not a hard call... It will be foolish call. Why not drop gill and push rohit up. Play nitish and washington or any other bowler you want to play.

[@ArjunJangidHere]

India should play Dhruv jurel in place of gill... Then put Prasidh krishna in place of NKR.... Unfair on NKR but we need 4 pacers.... Can also give siraj rest and get harshit in.... Bumrah needs to play all 5 matches.

How the heck would you drop Reddy?? He is the back bone of our batting. The problem is not our bowling it's our batting. Only a fool would even think about replacing him for this match.

I understand GG won't risk dropping Rohit and Virat right now, but dropping NKR? Come on, drop Gill and get Krishna. Everyone else moves up 1 spot

[@satishkumarov]

Mumbai lobby working hard, if anything he will add balance because he is multi discipline player.

[@padmanabhshenoy3924]

Correct. If you need an all rounder he has to be a Botham or Kapil Dev type all rounder. We can't win with bits and pieces all rounder. Best to go for a specialist batsman or specialist bowler.

[@ramav87]

Reddy is more likely to score runs than Kohli and Rohit in my opinion. India can continue to back the greats, hoping they will come good, maybe they will. But the problem has been going on for too long. Regarding the batting coach, I dunno what Manjrekar is thinking. If joe schmos on KZbin can determine what the problem is, then I am certain Rohit and Virat can figure out that they shouldn't be playing balls outside off stump. It's a mental issue they have, an inability to switch to the test mindset where they need to leave the ball more often than not.

[@Jay16485]

Gill, Rohit, Virat and Pant - one should be dropped and India should bring in one fast bowler. All are not in form and not scoring runs. Dropping Nitish Kumar reddy who is in form is stupidity.

[@praveenaprasad6757]

Perform or perish..gill should be dropped..Rahul should play at 1 down..dhurv jurel should replace gill..jurel is technically strong..washinton sunder should replace reddy..sunder can be handy as a bowler..siraj should be replaced with harshith Rana..

[@sandbpr]

Dropping confident batsmen like Nitish Kumar Reddy is foolish, if you want to balance the side better drop Rohit Sharma. Rohit can only bat as opener which seems difficult as jaiswal & Rahul combination is in good.

[@athreyiraj9356]

lol the all rounders should score 120 and also be good enough to get 5 wickets. Whereas the core batsmen are not even good enough to play 30 balls - Ro,Ko,Gill baggage

Hey they are doing homework and plan for established batsman New surprise their bowlers

[@kushanshah8040]

I don't know why people are so crazy about a guy who has basically scored three 40s. Reddy is loose as a fifth bowler which is his main job.

[@Kumar.R974]

Because he scored 40’s when even main batsman struggled. what did Rohit, Gill achieve by putting Washington and Jurel out even after getting so many chances. Three 40’s are better than low 20’s or even less runs and above all he took wickets when main pacers were struggling. It always good to have a part time bowler or a not so part time bowler than having a batsman who cannot bowl and not score runs too. India is lucky to have Nitish and need to groom him. Why do you think Bumrah took him in the first place as a Captain? Players like nitish should stay. remember he scored those 40’s in quick succession and he remeained not out too. Go back and look at how Australian team energy when he started scoring runs.

[@ssrujan6917]

How can a player performing for the team can be removed !! He dint got the chance to score big batting with tailenders and he won't get new ball to bowl

[@SHRAVNITHA1]

This team under Rohit is pure politics. They always drop players from minor states (AP and Bengal) and not from Delhi, Mumbai or Karnataka. Dropping both Kohli and Rohit and replacing them with Jurel and Padikkal will give India batting depth. These two senior players do not remotely look like scoring any runs but they would still play.
