After defeating West Indies in the 1st ODI, what will be Indian Playing XI in 2nd ODI vs WI. India would like to seal the series in the 2nd ODI tomorrow on 9th Feb 2022. KL comes to India’s Squad. Now the question of who will he replace Hooda or Ishant Kishan. And if India replaces Hooda and keeps Rahul in the team, where will KL Rahul play in the team. In the middle order or opening.
Right Team Balance for WorldCup 2023:
Indian team selection is confusing what will be Indian Playing XI in 2nd ODI vs WI. Dravid and Sharma have to pick the right team for the future and confirm playing slots for the longer term. The current selection of players in tests in ODIs is making things big odd for the team. WorldCup 2023 is not far away, and we have to find balance in the team and the perfect spot and role of players.
Dhawan or KL Rahul for an Opening slot in ODIs:
Dhawan is not in the team, so that Rahul Might open. Then why did Kishan come into the opening instead of him? Agarwal would have been the ideal choice. We will not be surprised if tomorrow KL Rahul plays in the middle order in place of Hooda. India has Rahul, Sharma, Agarwal, and Dhawan, who can open the inning in ODIs and T20s. But including Ishan Kishan in the opening slot is making things confusing. He is a good talent, but Ishan Kishan played a seat anchor role in 1st ODI vs WI, which is the opposite of talent. Dhawan and Rohit are the best opening combination as the Worldcup is in India, and Dhawan form in ODIs is good. So the question here is, once Dhawan returns, where will Rahul play? 5th or 6th spot is because Pant is coming too late as slogger is not ideal for India.
India Playing XI in 2nd ODI vs WI 2022:
- Rohit Sharma (Captain)
- Kl Rahul / Ishan Kishan opening
- Virat Kohli
- Rishabh Pant (wk)
- Suryakumar Yadav
- Deepak Hooda
- Washington Sundar
- Deepak Chahar / Thakur
- Mohammed Siraj
- Yuzvendra Chahal
- Kuldeep Yadav / Bishnoi / Prasidh
Changes we can see in 2nd ODI in the Indian team:
Three selections in 1st ODI surprised us Kishan and Thakur. But when you have Agarwal, who is the proper opener, why Kishan? The second selection of Thakur and no Deepak Chahar. Well, Thakur is a fine talent, and luck favors him, but Deepak is a better choice as a bowling all-rounder.
Deepak Chahar vs Shardul Thakur, who is best in ODIs:
Deepak has a swing that can help India get more wickets in ODIs in India than Thakur. The third selection includes Prasidh 3rd pacer or, say, 2nd pacer of team India. Playing all three young pacers in Indian condition was confusing. Prasidh bowled well, and we feel his spot in 2nd ODI looks confirmed with Siraj.
Who will be 5th and 6th part-time bowlers for India in WorldCup 2023:
If Hooda is not bowling at least 3 to 5 overs, his place is unsuitable. We can play a proper extra batter. In Indian conditions, we need extra part-timers who can play a good role as 5th and 6th bowlers. Washington Sundar is perfect, and when Jadeja comes back will have better options as Ashwin too is a lethal option in Indian conditions.
Will Hardik Pandya play in WorldCup2023:
The big question is will Hardik Pandya play in WorldCup 2023, but who will he replace. He is a fantastic talent and good at power-hitting, but he is not bowling, which creates a big problem and drags his place in doubt. So India will set KL Rahul or any other batter to play Hardik Pandya’s role as a proper batsman and slogger in the last ten overs.
