Former India pacer Ajit Agarkar feels Shikhar Dhawan's place in the T20I squad isn't guaranteed when Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul are there in the team management's plans. Dhawan will captain India in three ODIs and three T20Is and yet his place in the squad that will play in the T20 World Cup is still in doubt.
The former Indian pacer feels Dhawan must score heavily at the upcoming Sri Lanka tour in order to be in the reckoning for Indian team for T20 World Cup.
Agarkar, 43, said he cannot imagine a dry pitch in June in England and expected seam bowlers to get some help.
The Kolkata franchise lost to Rajasthan Royals by six wickets at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday, with South African pace bowler Chris Morris destroying the middle order, taking four wickets.
Hoping to keep the momentum going, Kohli's RCB will take on Rajasthan Royals on Thursday.
Gill hit five fours in a well-paced second wicket partnership with Cheteshwar Pujara as the pair helped India get over the early dismissal of Mayank Agarwal.
Agarkar feels Shubman fits better in lower middle-order than as an opener for the pink-ball Test.
We take a look at some of the memorable performances by Indian bowlers on the Australian soil.
CSK, three-time IPL champions, failed to make it to the playoffs for the first time and ended at the seventh spot in the group stage.
The new-look national selection committee of the BCCI is set to have a boost in its profile with the likes of Chetan Sharma, Maninder Singh and Shiv Sunder Das applying for the vacant posts.
At the No.3 position, Agarkar preferred young Ishan Kishan, the second-highest run-scorer for MI this season, over Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) skipper Virat Kohli.
Hoping to get back to winnings ways, the three-time champions are set to face Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians on Friday
Ahead of their match against Mumbai Indians on October 16 in the ongoing IPL, Karthik stepped down as KKR skipper and handed over the reigns to World Cup-winning England captain Morgan.
While Mumbai and Delhi currently occupy the top two spots in the points table, KKR are placed at the fourth position.
Ajit Agarkar was critical of Virat Kohli's decision making during the match against Kings XI Punjab, and also talked about RCB captain's ideal batting position.
In the game against Rajasthan Royals where CSK were chasing 217, Dhoni sent the likes of Curran, Jadhav and Gaikwad ahead of him in the batting lineup all off whom were undone quickly by the Royals attack leaving much of the work on Faf du Plessis' shoulders.
Earlier, Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) Apex Council member Ajinkya Naik, in a letter to MCA, had proposed a similar idea.
Kohli has a total of seven double hundreds in Tests, the most by an Indian. The closest he was to a triple century was last year against South Africa when he notched up an unbeaten 254 at home.
The former speedster however is aware that ICC's Cricket and Medical committee, in prevailing circumstances, didn't have an option but to go for the ban.
