TPL Season -2
disclaimer: This are my personal opinion or obersvation. This are not meant to hurt anybody .
Some stats from Last TPL Season :
most sixes hit by single person is 9 (ram and kapil)
Last season Priates highest score was 145. Out of all all the matches only 5 time score was above 140 in that Royals was part of 4 time. Highest score was 173 run with Extra 21 .
Looking at the Practice with Long Boundary , I feel most of the score will be in the range of 110-130.
Here is my playing 11 based on current form .
1/3 Jay Patel (wk)
2 Faizal Vohra(wk)/ Vishal Patel
3/1 Sajeev Sadanandan
4/5/6 Hardeep Singh
4/5/6 Devang Patel
4/5/6 Bhavin (Flotter)
7 Abhinva Aaram (Flotter)
8 Sanidhya Desai (Flotter)
9 Balaji
10 JD (wk)
11 Hitesh/Vimal(wk)/Pritesh/Nisraj/Shrey/Ronak/Ravi Chander
1 Opening combination :
Opt1: Faizal Vohara - Jay Patel
on current form & what I have looked so far ,Faizal is better than Vishal. it may be worth for Vishal to see how he does with old ball. Aslo Faizal fieling is in his favour.
we could accomodate him if Vimal is Not Playing.
Drawback : Both are heavyily front foot dominated.
Opt2: Faizal Vohra - Sajeev Sadanandan
I like this combination because Sajeev can play short ball. Sajeev Current form is looking good.
Drawback : Sajeev Record at number 3 is better.
Opt3 : Faizal Vohar - Abhi Aaram
This is left field , Abhi can also play little better on backfoot.
Drawback: We can Abhi at number 4 to 6 better
3 Jay Patel or Sajeev Sadanandan
Both options are good . Just different strength.
4/5/6 Situation Based :
if we are two wickets down in powerplay than Either Bhavin or Hardeep Can come.
if we are two wickets down after 10-12 overs I prefer Sanidhay to come in to get some momentum.
Role :
Devang/Bhavin/Hardeep Singh :
Bhavin: if Early wickets he is better suited . Playing spinner is his strength .current form is concerned but\ if he focuses on singles it's better for team. Can play Anchor role .
Hardeep Singh: Strong Backfoot & Very wristy players, Can play single/double most suited for anchor role.
Devang : Strong Backfoot Player, not in the best of the form. I prefer him to come early so he can spend some time on wickets & later on can accelerate. Positive mind frame before going is the key.
7 Abhinav Aaram :
Strong Front foot player . can play on little dab & pull . Practice game he manipulated fielders beatuifully. He can work around with Sanidhay/Balaji/JD/Pritesh/others to score in Last 8 overs. One of the Busy player. Though listed as 7 He can play earlier if needed.
8 Sanidhay
Cleanest Hitter in our team. He can change the momentum in the game. Ideally he needs to come b/w over 14 to 20. He can be sent Earlier, to Increate the run rate but Not before 10 overs.
one of the problem with T20 that some batsman can not get out and could not get the runs which eats up the ball. it's not their intention but this could happened to very best. That's why Sanidhay position needs to be flexible & carefully plan according to situation.
9 Balaji/JD need to work with Power Hitting to make out team more lethal.
10 Hitesh/Nisraj/Pritesh
Nisraj batting has improved in recent years. Same token, his bowling has suffered. If I am looking for better bowler than Hitesh is my choice.Nisraj can play on weird Area & make runs.
Hitesh is good batsman but current form or lack of batting is concern.
Pritesh is hard hitting batsman and more suited in Temple pitch down the order.
Pritesh looking in decent touch.
11 Vimal
Only left Handed batsman in the team. Primary reason I want him in the Team due to identify & adjust the field placement from Wicket keeping position.Biggest disavantage that everybody/(Specially Deven) know how He plays
