India should have batted again

Winning the match beyond doubt. More than 450 ahead. More than 3.5 days left. No threat of rain.

 

Anyway need to bowl once more either in 3rd or 4th innings, so it's not like any opportunity is being taken away from bowlers.

 

But batting again would have been good for Rahul, Shaw, Rahane and Pant. Rahul and Rahane need some runs under their belt and get back into form. Shaw and Pant are so young and new, would be good for their confidence to get as many runs as they can early in their careers.

 

Does the team management think on these lines at all ?

 

This would also give them and us fans some false sense, just like what happened to Pakistan when they went on a rampage against ZIM. When reality hit, it was a chaos.

yes ... i think they should have. All except Kohli & Pujara( these 2 needed to skip  batting in 2nd inns)  would have gained in various ways.
