No need to rest key players. 6 days rest is more than enough. 

We  should experiment with the batting order only when we're chasing 220 or less and are at 100/1. Even that can prove risky ref. Asia cup game against same opponent. May be send Dhoni at 3 .

Rest some of the key players like Kuldeep and Chahal? 

Absolutely not ....kuldeep is finally finding his rhythem n confidence so he shud keep playing and he ll get some cheap wkts against Afghanistan

  • Give opportunity to likes of Pandya, Dhoni, Shankar, and Jadhav to bat higher to get a long inning under the belt 

yes

  • Take the initiative to rest Bumrah as well to reduce his workload as there are still 4 more games after this 

We cant play with one seamer , give him less overs and more to pandya n shankar at max

Iirc, Pant and Saini are already traveling with the squad to be drafted in if required ....  IMO, they should have been a part of the original squad, which would have allowed Ind to manage the rotation and cover for injured players better

Saini is not with the squad i think

IF both come dhawan n bhuvi will be permanently out of WC .......so not happening

Now that Pant has come in , I'd play this team for this game. 

 

Rohit

Rahul

Pant

Shankar

DK

Kohli

Pandya

Shami

Kuldeep

Chahal

Bumrah

 

In that order. 

 

Drop or should I say rest Dhoni and Jadhav.

Love these adventurous line ups. Pandya opening, Kohli at 6, dropping Dhoni - give me a break. This is world cup cricket not fantasy league.

To give them more and much needed time out in the middle. See how England promoted woakes against windies and south Africa with phehlukwayo against Afghanistan. If you don't experiment against even Afghanistan,  then get ready for an untested middle order  blowing up in the knock out stages.

Quotes

"I don't think we prepared that well for a tournament like this. It is a big stage, there will be ups and downs, but we have learnt a lot so far. We should have won at least one or two games; we had the opportunity to do so, but we lacked experience."
Rashid Khan in an interview to Mid-day newspaper

You can’t take anyone lightly as we saw what happened with England today. What was supposed to be an easy cruise to semis now has become a fight for survival.

 

I think people are bored and want to see something new :laugh: just play your best X1 and thrash Afghanistan. No need to try Experiments

The last time we tried stunts and experimented with Afghanistan we tied the game with them. God forbid if we lose to them, that makes matches against Bangladesh,England and Srilanka must win. Again on paper they look easy but will be different equation altogether in a must win scenario especially England and Bangladesh

have been saying this ..We need to qualify first before taking anything for granted . I'm sure Indian management is fully aware of the same as well.

With Pant in, could try the below as well so guys expected to play in lower order in other games have the opportunity to get a long inning under their belt in this game 

 

KL

Pandya

Pant/Kohli

Kohli/Pant 

Dhoni

2 from Jadhav, Shankar, and DK
