Any reason why

So will you call out this strategy & the selfish top 3 if/when they fail against good bowling attacks in important games? We have 4, potentially 5 iffy games to overcome before SF & overall 5-7 games against tough oppositions in the competition. OR will you praise these guys if they inflate their avg against mediocre sides & fail against stronger ones? I'd be happy to be proven wrong, but how many of you will admit that the stale strategy of playing safe doesn't work with the squad we have - if we lose important games?

may need to spread some of these guys around in the top 5-6 rather than clustering them at the top

And you're saying the best batter in the world can't bat one down than his normal position? And speaking of consistency, what's his record in WC at 3 anyway?

He can even bat at no 11 doesn’t mean we should try it ideally he should open.

But he is  an excellent middle over players No 3 will be  ideal.

Problem with your theory is the guys who you propose to replace them are no Tendulkar Gambirs Sehwgs. Rahul Dravid batted at no5 behind kaif in 2003 World Cup. He batted wherever he was asked to. When Sachin and Sehwag around Gambir batted at 3. What is so special aboutRahul he must bat at no 3  He was getting bowled out by so many bowlers for fun until recently Suddenly he is good enough to replace Kohli? On what basis Even in The English lion series he flunked at the top
