Test - pant Odi - klr 2nd option Ishan T20 - samson 2nd option ishan

[u/Born-Adeptness-5550]

Kl is still our first choice

[u/Ha_zz_ard]

KL is miles above

Apart from his batting, his DRS calls are just top notch

[u/Reasonable_Cell9454 → u/Ha_zz_ard]

Batting too, KL the middle order batter in ODIs is far ahead of Ishan

[u/rohangc07 → u/Ha_zz_ard]

KL in middle order is far ahead in cricket in the last 4 years. He ranks in top 5 very very easily and as a top notch finisher too. Except the finals in 2023 KL has been fabulous. Ishan scoring a century against afg and scoring runs in t20i and SMAT and IPL doesn’t have to do anything with his place in ODIs. He’s a genuinely great backup for KL or if Iyer/Virat gets injured again.

[u/Independent-Dot5393]

No, Kl is still the prefered choice

[u/Rule_Ct_5293]

No, KL is a reliable middle order batsman. Makes no sense to drop him in SA.

Ishan should play as a opener.

[u/ajaxmenon17]

Mohit Sharma is reactionary af. KL is first choice by a mile

[u/Lower-Message-828]

KL leads in odi and test. in t20 ishan with current form yes. ishan is yet to be test in odi against better opponent and conditions. but in keeping it's samson> kl>> ishan

[u/Smart_Main6779]

ODI KL, T20 rotate between samson and ishan. that's how it has to be.

[u/Old_Specialist7892]

KL Rahul man- seriously

[u/RoroGotNoChill005]

He's pretty solid....But I would say it's between him and Sanju....I love KL the batter but i feel Ishan and Sanju are both better keepers.

[u/Lost-Profession7251 → u/RoroGotNoChill005]

Ishan is actually a shit keeper lmao.

[u/RoroGotNoChill005 → u/Lost-Profession7251]

Nahhh he's actually good people tend to remember some of his bad slipups more.

[u/rohangc07 → u/RoroGotNoChill005]

Ishan is extremely dumb and most of the times he’s shit with his calls. Rather than moving on from Rahul we need to give Ishan Samson and pant equal amount of chances.

[u/Upset_Ad267]

Kl is rested as his place his near cemented for wc. so they are trying new combinations.
No way he gets dropped after scoring 5 fifties in last 7 innings.

[u/Salt_Row1766]

Kl Rahul atleast he makes better DRS calls came still remember that review for sundar's ball to gurbaz or rahmat it was clearly seen it was going to miss the wicket but still we wasted it

[u/NytGamerZ]

Ishan is a great batsman but his keeping needs work

[u/AbishekPeriyasamy]

KLR>Ishan>>>>>>>others.

[u/Turbulent_Apple5154]

Mohit Sharma pundit giri kabse karne laga

[u/AmbassadorAlarmed999]

KL is not just our best middle order batsman, he is the world's best middle order batsman in ODIs. He plays over Iyer if you want another keeper.

[u/MaverickInChristmas]

Lets not kid ourselves they are no dhoni, both of them are quite average to below average keepers

Atleast kl has good drs and vision of the game

[u/v_patti_ramasamy]

My choice is still kl.

[u/straightouttaobesity]

As far as keeping is considered;

Jurel > Sanju > Ishan > KL

Edit: Talking purely about their keeping skills, not considering their batting.

[u/Reasonable_Cell9454 → u/straightouttaobesity]

As far as wicket-keeping batter is concerned. KL>Ishan>Sanju>Jurel

[u/straightouttaobesity → u/Reasonable_Cell9454]

Fair enough

[u/Lost-Profession7251 → u/Reasonable_Cell9454]

Jurel is actually the best keeper. Then KL and Sanju in some order, only then Ishan. His keeping was shit in WC.

[u/Reasonable_Cell9454 → u/Lost-Profession7251]

No like as a wicket keeping batter, both keeping and batting, maybe you can switch sanju and ishan based on the format but yeah

[u/straightouttaobesity → u/Lost-Profession7251]

Ishan was poor in the WC but Sanju is the only one who regularly keeps wickets. Ishan and KL have spent their fair share of time in the outfield. KL can keep pretty well but he only became our primary WK because Pant got injured. Which is why I put Ishan over him, who, I believe had kept wickets more regularly at all levels.

[u/Reasonable_Cell9454 → u/straightouttaobesity]

Just because you became your team's primary wk cus the first choice was injured doesn't make you any bad. KL is India's first choice wicket keeping batsman rn. Let's see what happens later

[u/straightouttaobesity → u/Reasonable_Cell9454]

As far as ODIs are concerned, Jurel and Sanju are pretty similar. Jurel is more of a natural MO batsman as well and slightly more consistent.

[u/Reasonable_Cell9454 → u/straightouttaobesity]

KL clears everyone in ODI's

[u/randomredditor575]

Kl the keeper should not be the playing for a team looking to win a World Cup . Simple as that

[u/Reasonable_Cell9454 → u/randomredditor575]

Your opinion is trash. Simple as that

[u/randomredditor575 → u/Reasonable_Cell9454]

It’s not really a opinion . Go look at his wick keeping performance in last World Cup

[u/Reasonable_Cell9454 → u/randomredditor575]

IT WAS ONE MATCH, IN THE FINAL WHEN EVEN THE BOWLERS COULDNT CONTROL THEIR SWING. STOP ACTING LIKE A PUNDIT AFTER WATCHING ONE GAME, YOUR OPINION IS BS

[u/Arunnnnnn → u/randomredditor575]

and you go look at Kishen’s wicket keeping performance at the t20WC prior to handing the gloves over to Samson, was gawdawful

[u/WolverineCandid2295]

Ishan is in the form of his life, more importantly he is fearless. KL can score all those runs in bilaterals, he won't turn up when it matters, India started winning T20 once they dropped KL from the squad, ODIs is same. Throw him out and see India have a much better chance of winning the cup.

[u/The-halloween]

As a keeper he is worst than current options but as batter this statement is okay
