Our Legendary Pundit Answers 9 Burning Questions in this Exclusive Podcast!
Q 1. What the hell is Dhoni doing in the Team? Apparently he’s the MentWhore? How many MentWhores does this team need?
— What’s your take on this whole MentWhore position?
Q 2. How on Earth does Kohli drop Ashwin from an entire 5-Test series & then bring him back in the T20 squad — Ashwin hasn’t played an ODI or T20 in more than 4 years for India.
Is this an Olive Branch — a peace offering or this is a diabolical plan to pick Ashwin & never play him even once throughout the T20 World Cup?
Q 3. What’s this nonsense debate about whether Pandya will bowl 4 overs or 2 overs.
— Someone please explain to me how difficult is it to bowl 4 overs when 87-year-old Jimmy Anderson can bowl 200 overs in a 5-match Test series — that’s exactly the number of over you’d bowl in 50 T20 matches if you bowled your full quota of 4 overs in every match.
Q 4. Why is KulCha Out — Kul I get — Why is Cha Out? Doesn’t Kohli love him anymore?
Q 5. Why is Dhawan Out?
Gav: Alright, I will say what no one is saying — He’s been left out because of what’s going on in his personal life [divorce]. His performances & reputation have been spectacular & he beautifully captained India’s T20 & ODI side in Sri Lanka.
Q 6. Don’t be stupid to think this is the final squad — there will be injuries, great performances in the IPL [from the players who were dumped] & the final squad will look a lot different than this preliminary squad.
Who do you expect to make a sensational return to India’s World T20 squad?
Gav: I’m picking Piyush Chawla, Robin Uthappa, Suresh Raina, Pujara, Rahane, DK, & Arjun Tendulkar.
Q 7. Jadeja hasn’t been great in the T20 format for a while. Is he still an automatic selection in the playing XI or you will select the player on form & horses-for-courses?
Q 8. India is in Group 2 — aka cakewalk group —— India—Pak—NZ—Af + 2 Minnows/Free-hits
— Group 1 is the Group of Death —— Australia—England—SA—Windies + 2 Minnows/Free-hits
Gav: How on Earth is Af [surely at risk of getting boycotted] are in Super 8 when Lanka & Bangladesh are mud-wrestling with Namibia & Papa New Guinea in the Qualifiers?
Pick your 4 teams that will make it to the KOs/Semis.
Q 9. If you were to pick one team, who would you put your house on to win the T20 WC
— Pick one Dark Horse? — Who will choke? — & Who will get a miracle win?
