Parag is far more better Batsman and fielder than Rishabh Pant… That guy bowls too…

If Parag was called X factor instead of Pant, i would have believed it… https://t.co/iOfBsM2suU

No way we are selecting Riyan. Players like Sanju and Tripathi is not getting the backing. Riyan is volatile needs a very long rope and absolute backing. Also he comes from an area more remote than the above 2. #crickettwitter https://t.co/23dQqAeKAU

Just teach bowling to Iyer and Surya ,even Rohit used to bowl i wonder why doesn't he bowl now

— Vishwajeet Mohite (@Vishwa_iron) November 28, 2022

Riyan Parag, Shreyas Gopal, Nitish Rana, Abhishek Sharma, Rahul Tewatia, Shahbaz Ahmed, Washington Sundar, Lalit Yadav, Deepak Hooda, Tilak Verma, Vivrant Sharma are few names but we tend to hype them less.

Really ??? What about NITISH RANA & RINKU SINGH’s Consistence Performance ??? @bhogleharsha pic.twitter.com/ogt7qu51z0

He is nowhere close to Abhishek sharma and tilak verma ,Abhishek bowling nearly 7 overs in every match taking wickets and tilak is very very fine middle order with agressive approach both are consistent performers,parag is below par bowler and not consistent with bat need improve

— ManOfScience (@Panda48588044) November 28, 2022

Deepak Hooda, Abhishek Sharma, Washington Sundar, Riyan Parag, Lalit Yadav…yes India lacks fast bowling all-rounders and will probably continue to do for a long time. But if we have a couple of batters who can chip in with overs of decent spin, we can play 3-4 quicks if we want

— Siddharth Dixit (@sid_dixit_25) November 28, 2022

Sundar Hardik & Jadeja. If we can fit in D.Chahar, it would be damn good T20 side.
Abhishek and Riyan are more batting kind of allrounders and still needs to improve.
Dravid & Rohit doesn't have an eye for talent at least selectors should, in terms of T20 requirements.

— Secret Trader (@SecretTrader16) November 28, 2022

You must be joking.
Not a chance in hell.
First he needs to bat and make big runs.
Abhishek Sharma surely is.

— Sanjay David (@SANJAYDAVID) November 28, 2022

All rounders are there but Indian mgmt don't need them. They stack up as much as 3 WK in the side but bench pkayers like Hooda. Apart from Hardik & Shardul, DC is also very good. But he is over looked time and again. He gets chances in patches.

— Manikangkan Halder (@MKHalder83) November 29, 2022

We do have good amount of all rounders in middle (Pandya, Jadeja, Hooda). We need someone who can open/ play in top 4 and swing their arm – I think that Iyer is better choice in that case

— Tushar Sangale (@dropsoflyf) November 28, 2022

+T20Is – require more all rounders (batting + one extra skill)
+ODIs – require 5+1 (batters + batting keeper), 5 pure bowlers
+Tests – require 5 solid batters; 5 solid bowlers; 1 ok-ok batsman

— Sasi Chandru (@SasiChandru13) November 28, 2022

Thats one area we are losing out. Previosuly we had Sachin/Saurav/ Sehwag/Yuvraj who could win matches with their bowling too!!!

— Faceofcommonman (@faceofcommonman) November 28, 2022

We may not have batting all-rounders who can bowl seam like Hardik Pandya but we have seam bowlers who can bat like Shardul Thakur and Deepak Chahar. They should be given long ropes by playing them together.

Why Rahul tevatiya and Rinku Singh not being considered with Riyan Parag
