Merit in this argument? Lemme know your thoughts 😇 #AakashVani

What about Amol Majumdaar ? Picking Aakash Chopra over Amol Muzumdar was a mistake too. First-Class stats don’t lie: Amol: 244 matches | 11,167 runs | 51.70 avg | 37 hundreds | 0 India caps Aakash: 157 matches | ~10,228 runs | 42.55 avg | 24 hundreds | 10 Tests Domestic legend denied, forever the “what if”.

Pandey ji, waise jahan ke aap hain wahan ki Domestic Cricket ke baare mein bhi kuch batayein??

Sir Please itna bura mat maane. Jahan ka mai hu wahan se RP Singh aur Pankaj Singh Jaise bowler hue hain- jinka record first class me bahot accha rha hai

Pankaj singh - 117 FC matches | 472 wickets @ 26.98 | 28 five-fors | 6 ten-fors Led Rajasthan to 2 Ranji titles He is from my hometown

@cricketaakash With due respect Pandey ji no Indian shows location as South Asia . @cricketaakash has a point .

@cricketaakash Bhai indian hu mai

@cricketaakash Write Indian than location .

@cricketaakash Check it

Rohit Sharma 264 IND vs SL Highlight.

Ajit Agarkar and Gautam Gambhir selecting players based on favoritism, IPL performance and IPL team quota (Sai from GT)

He’s just here to unload some frustrations he’s been carrying for a long time.

Yes, pretty basic stuff. Dont know what Agarkar is doing. Vihari, Aggarwal, Karun, Sarfaraz should be in home test squads. They were discarded unnecessarily. Sai, Jurel, Nitish need to go out. Even KL for home tests

Dekh rha h binod! Aakash Bhai ne kaise Rishabh pant ko safeguard kara hai

That time merit was benchmark Now politics games came into cricket

The pioneer of pull shot Only and only Rohit Sharma

It all sounds very good in theory, but in reality it’s never going to happen. Because if such a fair model is actually implemented, then how will the selectors continue their favoritism? How will they sideline the players they don’t get along with? How will they drop players like Sanju, Sarfaraz, Karun Nair, Shami, Rohit, or Ashwin without any solid reason? The truth is, this system will never be allowed to exist because if genuine merit starts to matter, the entire culture of flattery, bias, and politics that currently runs the show will collapse. And that’s exactly why things will continue the same way… Here, sycophancy will always win over fairness.

आकाश जी इतना सच मत बोलिए, लोग नाराज ही नहीं दुश्मन हो जाएँगे. @cricketaakash

The problem will always be the same that Indian test team is bring picked by IPL performance which is nothing less than a crime and absolute discrimination on the part of players who are scoring heavy in domestic cricket. I feel karun nair in Indian soil is worth a try.

When is Ajit agarkar’s term ending ? He is making a mockery in selection . He himself doesn’t go and watch Ranji but is following the cricket team everywhere .

But they are selecting players on the base of their IPL performance. It's hard to digest the base of selection and selection of coaching staff as well...

Aajkal IPL se direct entry mil ja rahi hai Test Cricket me.. bizarre.. Must be changed, the whole entry process..

Great thought

aakash chopra doing satyavani 🔥🔥🔥

Kya hogya achanak Aap hi the na jo is ghatiya selection ko transition phase bolke justify kar rhe the 😂🤣

Ajinkya 20 century before Test Debut 🔥🔥

Absolutely agree, test batters should earn their spot, India should pick people who have proven themselves in test cricket, For SL India should pick, Karun & Ajinkya. Also, India should have a different set of batters for home/Asia and SENA countries. Players like KL, Pant, NKR should play only in SENA countries.

🇮🇳 🏏 India's recent Test cricket struggles, highlighted by a historic 2-0 home whitewash against South Africa in Guwahati, stem from multiple interconnected issues. Modern day players lack the temperament and introspection needed for grueling five-day battles, crumbling under pressure without the mental fortitude of past eras, as T20's aggressive mindset - prioritizing quick runs over patience, spoils their technique. The IPL's lucrative paychecks exacerbate this, tempting batsmen toward white-ball riches over red-ball grind, while frequent injuries to key players sideline talent and disrupt rhythm. 👉 Now the question is - Can't we build a few 'wall'-like structures in the current Indian Test team that stand unshaken irrespective of any calamitous conditions? Like how Pujara was nurtured solely for the longest format...

@grok team selection kaise hoti h or jo select krta Ajit Agarkar h wo waha pe kaise पहुचा h koi criteria h ky ?

Kon si golden generation .. 0 icc test trophy wali ? Are you happy with 2014-2024?🤣

Good analysis! Favouritism must stop in Indian 🇮🇳 cricket 🏏

There you go. Select only on the basis of First Class Cricket performance. Not for players but for coaches also and selectors too.

Sir why can’t they fast track Tilak Varma in Test team when he has shown that temperament in white ball cricket!!

Please share your stats too

In Gambhir era selection is based on IPL performances, how can someone get results based on first class performances.

Yes, agree. First class cricket is must. Whoever plays well there deserves chance. I feel sad for Karun Nair. Other players, if they would have 300 runs, on that itself, they would have played for a year.

sahi baat hai

That's everyone asking Gambhir and Agarkar why there is a selection based on IPL in tests .. Their job is to select the proper test players and then play proper eleven with 6 batsmen and 5 bowlers, and after that, if we lost, then its players' responsibility @vikrantgupta73

Chlo maan liye bhaiya ki km experience h present team ka FC me,to phir Hm kyu nhi abhimanyu ishwaran,baba brothers, karun nayar ko ek aur mauka kyu ni diya gya specially Indian pitches pr bhaiya kisi ko andhe bn kr defend MT kariye selection aur pitch choice ghatiya hui h acpt it

but are we providing quality pitches in first class cricket ?

Totally agree with you. Just feel the reason we’re fast-tracking now is visibility. In the Sachin–Dravid era, we heard about Kohli, Rohit, Rahane early. But during Kohli–Pujara–Rahane’s time, the next gen wasn’t as visible. So the transition feels abrupt.

Absolutely, jisse first class se laate nhi hai usse 1- 2 mauke dekar team se bahar kar dete hai, the question is simple jab kuch bhi merit based nhi hai, why should ppl watch these below standard sifarashi lal players.
