Kuldeep's form is the key

[vvvslaxman]

He has to watch all his old videos and length he bowled. SOme of the top batsmen could not pick him in the air. He can trigger a dramatic collapse and also if he gets going he can create a lot panic  amongst opposition.  Chahal is already in great form. If these two get going it will be an exhausting experience for any team to see 20 overs off in the middle.  Chahal is an intelligent bowler. But Kuldeep in full flight is a different breed.

He just had to get his length right.

If you are going by the best deliveries and most awesome dismissals Ashwin's wizardry has no equal, but that doesn't translate to how good that bowler is in the format. Kuldeep bowling too slow IMO, shouldn't start against Pakistan. Unleash Beast Shami !!!!

I cant remember who but someone during commentary was complaining about him bowling a bit quick.

India cxannot afford two spinners against Pakistan. Look at what WI did and that should be the blueprint.

Should be Manju

We cannot have 4 right arm seamers bowling. If the pitch offers nothing for seamers then India will struggle to contain. For sheer variety we must play Kuldeep

Which english pitch offers absolutely nothing for seamers? Especially if rainy and overcast conditons, seamers are a must. 

One leg spinner is enough, these not asian pitches. Against teams which struggle against spin you can play two. There is no reliable 3rd seamer for India(pandya is not reliable) so we essentially have 2 seamers only, so shami must play. Either Kuldeep or Chahal must go, so based on current form, Kuldeep must sit out.

If it offers something to our main seamers they will finish the job themselves. They may not even need 4th seamer. Look at today's match where all Aussie seamers were cartered around.

As i said when in form he can absolutely flummox batsmen.

One more

This is why you have to back up your trump cards. We cannot chop and change willy nilly with a statement "people have started picking him". What is there to pick He is a conventional china man bowler. There is nothing mystery about it. His only issue was landing. He got it right today. Every batsman was clueless.
