Bhuvi fit for West Indies match.

[AuxiliA]

Maybe we should rest Bumrah for a game or two before semis. We will potentially play 6 games in 18 days. Don't want him losing gas in the knockouts.

Bumrah bhuvi Shami would be difficult to score against....why not play them all..

Exactly, the extra batsman may not be needed in most games given our Top 3's safety first approach. Might as well play 5 front line bowlers and restrict teams to low scores.

Play all and Chahal

Play Pant instead of Vijay

star sports showing he is fit and ready to go for next match so i think they will pick him if there is bit of swing available or maybe even without looking at conditions.

There's no need for him frankly, even if it aids swing BK ahead of Shams isn't a bright option. The other option isn't one I'd like to see being exercised either!

Sadly there is no Dhawan in top 3 in remaining matches...we can do this line-up against Wi or SL though

No need to rush back Bhuvi. Let him relax and with the Rhythm Shami is in, let him have a go again. He is bowling brilliantly. 

End of discussion. Don't rush in a recently injured bowler, since Shami is in rhythm give him a run now. Drop Bumrah for Bhuvi after a match or two because then our schedule will be hectic and we don't want any of our quicks to be gassed out.

Agree with gollum....don't rush bhuvi.

Give him one more game rest.

[MCcricket]

Made an accidental choice , to me Shami Bumrah are our 2 best bowlers by far, Shami has the ability to take wkts against the run of play, regardless of the track and he is accurate.

Sachin and sunny want bhuvi ahead of shami because of out swing which will trouble gayle.

Shami got Gayle in 2015 World Cup I guess.

I would pick Shami but when the Afghanis were trying to hit, Shami went for plenty. The wickets were more due to the pressure created by Bumrah at the other end than him getting them. Expected more from our premium bowler.

Hamstring injuries arre deceptive. You could walk fine and maybe run fine and when you do your thing it starts acting up.

Last five overs anybody will get hit,Shami bowled 6 overs straight at death and did well.

<fearless mode> They should open the batting with Bhuvi. Give full license to go after bowling </fearless mode> 

[Deleted_User_1]

Pick both. Who needs all that batting depth? The top order will take care of the runs!

[ShoonyaSifar]

Bowled a few deliveries with a stroll of 4-5 steps. Going by his history of slow recovery from injuries and taking good time to get his rhythm back, dropping Shami or Kuldeep for him will be insane.

 

Still think he is not fully match fit. I hope TM does not repeat the mistake of last year Eng tour’s final ODI.

It's not about getting hit, he was bowling right in the slot for hitting.

[Suhaan]

We should go with Shami,would have liked to go with three proper pacers rather than with just two

I know Kuldeep is blowing hot and cold,a red hot Kuldeep is a different beast altogether,but Shami too is in red hot form,he can add another dimension to our attack,but had it been on me i too would have struggled to keep Kuldeep out
