I don't think Kohli will play Ranji Trophy as many suggest. Tendulkar played first class match till 2012.

Playing Ranji and getting humiliated by spinners there would not be good for his image.

[WengerOut]

Since the end of the 2019 ODI World Cup, Rohit has had a powerplay strike rate of 92.55. That puts him in sixth place among openers who have batted in at least 15 innings in that period, but while Jonny Bairstow (106.35) is clearly ahead of the pack, Quinton de Kock (95.93), Jason Roy (95.89), Gill (94.88) and Finn Allen (93.19) aren't that far ahead of Rohit.

The recent numbers starkly contrast with those from the start of 2013 - when Rohit became a regular ODI opener - and the end of the 2019 World Cup. His powerplay strike rate was just 70.47 then.

lol.

And his fans would like us to believe since he is not injured for a significant amount of time, a la Jadeja, he doesn't need to play FC cricket.

Looks like he is batting in ODIs as per plan. If only his innings last a bit longer than they currently are.

[MP2011]

NZ win toss and will be fielding first.

[daytrader]

[Devadwal]

Evergreen chahal is back

[MP2011]

Chahal back in XI.

[Nikhil_cric]

Hmm. 3 spinners under lights with dew at this venue. So an attack of Umran, Shardul and Pandya? We need to find 2 more pacers from somewhere.

[SamNJ]

Very small ground. If pitch is flat as it generally is, can be a 750+ runs game.

[MP2011]

Its been 2 years since KulCha played togoether.

[MP2011]

Our batting is still very thin. Bowling, even more so. All in all, a highly imbalanced team.

[WengerOut]

Indore has very small ground. Evening dew as well. There will be a massacre later in the evening. 400 might not be enough with this bowling lineup.

[MP2011]

There used to be a NZ bowler Tuffy who used to play during late '90s and early '00s. Is this Duffy guy related to him?

Yeah, Daryl Tuffy.

Alright.

[Nikhil_cric]

History doesn't back this up. Highest score here is 418 or something by India while batting first against WI in 2011. Next highest is 290 odd while chasing by India. If India get 300-320, they should defend it. No excuses.

Bowling lineup does not instill confidence

[Nikhil_cric]

Bowling lineup does not instill confidence

That is another issue.

[MP2011]

Rohit plays too many dots.

[WengerOut]

I seriously hope this abomination of a ground does not host any WC matches.

[MP2011]

22 runs off that Ferguson over.

[Nikhil_cric]

It's usually a more balanced pitch than this.

[WengerOut]

It's usually a more balanced pitch than this.

last time SA made merry in a T20 match. Roussow scoring a 100.

[Nikhil_cric]

Tickner bowling the right line, length and pace for this pitch.

[Nikhil_cric]

I meant in ODIs. It's not an out and out belter in ODIs.

[MP2011]

Most of the 6s that are being hit today, would have been 6s on any ground.

[WengerOut]

Most of the 6s that are being hit today, would have been 6s on any ground.

There is an extra bit of confidence to hit the ball in air when you know that boundaries are short

[MP2011]

Can Gill (294* runs) break Babar's record (360 runs) of scoring most runs in a 3-ODIs series?

[Devadwal]

400 is not safe on this ground

[Devadwal]

50 for gill in just 33 balls

[Devadwal]

Gill vs santner is good contest

[Devadwal]

We will see new world no 1 odi batsman later this year and his name is gill

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

People who criticise pitches in Pakistan are sitting quiet here.

[Rana]

Another 200 loading for Gill

[dravidthewall]

Hope KL Rahul never returns back to ODI team. This batting line up looks ok.

[Nikhil_cric]

People who criticise pitches in Pakistan are sitting quiet here.

Nobody criticised the odi pitches in Pakistan.

[Devadwal]

People who criticise pitches in Pakistan are sitting quiet here.

this is ODI pitch but not a test match .

[Front Foot Pull]

People who criticise pitches in Pakistan are sitting quiet here.

Most People only criticised test match pitches in pak and the results were there to see.

[MP2011]

Both openers are on a rampage, scoring @ 146 S/r.

[Front Foot Pull]

Very small boundaries, flat pitch, fast outfield. Enough cricket played on these post stamps, should decrease it going forward. Hate small grounds.

It's why Australia is a great place to watch any form of cricket. Big boundaries, high bounce. Runs really have to be earned there.

[jnaveen1980]

Typial Indore fireworks. NZ will also come out guns blazing with nothing to lose. Good challenge for bowlers.

[Rana]

Looks like 500 is on!

[Rana]

165-0 in 20 overs

That’s a world class score for Pakistan T20 cricket team these days

[JibranAnsari]

Any channel showing in pakistan?

Looks like there will be first 500 today.

[Cover Drive Six]

Coin size boundaries.
Pretty flat wicket.

[jnaveen1980]

Indian bowling is buffet today. Thakur, Pandya, Chahal. Kuldeep, Umran, Sundar. Thee is no leader in this line up. I think NZ will chase it down

[Rana]

Both openers racing to a hundred

[Raja111]

Indian tail won't help reaching 400

[Aman]

Gill will surpass Kohli.

[Aman]

Why on earth does India have cricket grounds the size of Eden Park.

Makes no sense.

[WengerOut]

We have 50 venues. Maybe 10 of them are like this. Newer ones are larger

[Nikhil_cric]

To give teams like NZ a chance to compete

[Aman]

To give teams like NZ a chance to compete

WC is not far away, keep the same energy

[Aman]

If there isn't much movement, the team can chase ~380. Depends on the top order showing up.

No movement, ball straight as an arrow and the boundaries 60m.

[SamNJ]

Yes flat pitch and all but still need to bat well do this.

[dravidthewall]

What both of thease gonna do after centaury

[WengerOut]

Pretty poor batting last 3 overs.

[Aman]

Yes flat pitch and all but still need to bat well do this.

Idk, we'll see when we bat. Our bowlers aren't skillful to make use of any movement if available.

[Rana]

30 ODI hundreds

Serious player!

[Aman]

We have 50 venues. Maybe 10 of them are like this. Newer ones are larger

We're forced to have those dimensions because council and rate payers don't want to make large stadiums for cricket because there isn't a demand for it. It's either that or not have any cricket in Auckland and Wellington.

India building stadiums for the sole purpose of cricket and then making the boundaries as small as amateur club cricket is silly.

Gwan Gill

200 again brother!

[dravidthewall]

out rohit

[jnaveen1980]

Why on earth does India have cricket grounds the size of Eden Park.

Makes no sense.

Indore is always like that for years. Nothing new. INdore crowd have witnessed several entertaining knocks. Sehwag's 219 is the most famous.

[WengerOut]

Might be unpopular, that was a pretty avg innings from Rohit on this ground.

[WengerOut]

Kohli in... Santner time

[dravidthewall]

Man Cant imagine suryakumar Yadav batting on this pitch

[Rana]

Poor by Gill

200 was there for the taking!

[WengerOut]

There goes the 400

[Devadwal]

400 is chaseable score on this ground .so wait for nz inning

[jnaveen1980]

Gill equalled the Babar Azam's record of most runs in 3 match series and got out. 360 runs.

[Raja111]

It will be an achievement if IND score 400 from here with their hopeless tail

[Nikhil_cric]

Tickner has bowled well here. Deserved wicket out. Kohli doesn't comfortable either. Don't think he will last.

[MP2011]

Poor from Gill.

We'll struggle to reach 350 now.

[MP2011]

Ishan almost chopped that one on to his stumps.

[JibranAnsari]

Tiny ground ,reminds me of the ground where pakistan national odi cup was played. No boundaries should be less than 70 meters.
