‘Selection consistency benefiting India’
10
DHAKA: Consistency in team selection has started paying dividends for India, star batsman Rohit Sharma said ahead of his side’s crunch contest against Pakistan in the Asia Cup T20 tournament on Saturday.
“If any individual knows he has the backing of the team, that’s when he opens up and expresses himself better, gets the performance going,” Sharma told reporters on Friday in Fatullah, just outside Dhaka.
“For us also, we have been playing with the squad for a while which shows that we have a good bunch [of cricketers] who at any point are ready to take the challenge.
“That’s a good sign and we are very proud of that. It’s a good sign going to the World T20.”

@wellwisher yuvraj is there in team because he won India 2007 and 2011 world cup .he was man of series in both world cup .he is a awesome middle order batsman who can ball economically too .
rohit is right he continued underperforming for last 6 year but he was still retained in team because everyone saw his technique and perfection and now that wait is paying off

The best example is Dhawan. There was a time when it was painful to see him play (actually not play). Yet selectors stuck with him and it paid dividends. I must give credit to selectors on this brave move. Another good and surprise selection was Bumrah.
But I think they should have played Pandey instead of Yuvi. Let us see.

@ayush We won 1983 and 2011 World Cups. Not 2007 WC. Yes. Yuvraj is always an asset and was champion of champions in 2011.

India team is doing what Chennai SuperKings were doing. Do not disturb the combination. Credit should go to Dhoni.
