His entry point is not 3 or 4 but should be what Rinku s is at over 15/16. Then he wont play any spin.He did it well against that windies and england match. Slamb bang 10 ball 25 s. But then the issue is what wrong has Rinku done. I would have Vaibhav, Abhishek, Samson, Ishan, Iyer, Dube, Tilak, Axar if he at all has to play. Iyer Dube s entry point during spin automatically at 5 and 6.
Also there is a thing called luck. Sky had that luck factor. Think of his catch in 2024 w cup final. One inch we would have lost it. Think the SL t20 series. 4 runs 6 balls Rinku singh bowls india to a tie and india win in super over. 2026 asia cup final..we had no business scoring 63 in 36 balls on that slow wicket. 2026 w cup against usa we should not have even crossed 130 and sky plays that innings and all his tumbling shots comes off.. dude is a 6 time ipl winner.. iyer has no luck on his side..
Also Bishnoi should have played. Ireland cant play leg spin. Intead they played Prasidh. Get sundar and prasidh out. Get vaibhav and bishnoi. India frankly took it easy. Shee shots of Iyer and Kishan
Basically india still has these 6 batsmen for all three formats. No new player has staked a claim

We have yastika who is more of a odi player. Bharti fulmali can only play on flat tracks. We had Pratika Rawal who is a solid odi batsman but doesn’t have t20 shots. The one player we are missing terribly is amanjot kaur. She used to give us good balance and could hit quick runs, bowl 2 overs and is a gun fielder. Infact her throw to run out Tanzim Brits and her stunning catch to get rid of Wolvaardt swung the game in our favour in the final. Unfortunately she is injured. But looking back I think india should have taken Harleen Deol who is a much better hitter than Yastika. No idea why she wasnt selected. Also Instead of Prema Rawat India should have chosen Sneh Rana who is a much better batsmen post Shreyankas injury.
Unless Netherlands can spoil the party for Saf today and beat them. Their mens team did that in 2022 t20 w cup which led to Pakistan reaching semis.. or Bangladesh can do the same on Sunday which again their mens team did to them in 2007 odi wcup..

I suddenly have so much respect for Ravi Shastri.. the dude retired when he was 31! Scored nearly 4000 test runs. Took 150 test wickets. Scored 11 centuries out of which 8 were Away from home.. Karachi, Antigua ( against the best West Indian bowling line up ever in 1984 at their peak),Colombo, Lords, Oval, Centurion, and 2 in Sydney including a double century.. all within the ripe age of 31 in addition to winning the 1983 world cup and 1985 Champions B&H world championship where he was the MOS. Similar numbers in odi as well.. and we all treat him like a joker..
Oh i want England to win this match. They have already lost 1 and docked 12 points for over rates. So no chance they ll reach WTC final. They ll smash pakistan next at home 3-0 for sure but still it ll be an uphill task for them. But if NZ wins today they in drivers seat to reach Wtc final as they play india next in 2 test series and we all know what happens when India loses the toss and bats on a green pitch in Auckland with Jamieson Henry O Rourke.. heck in Bangalore they got all out for 70 odd..
