13. Iyer

14. Khaleel

15. Axar

 

---  Rest Kohli and the bowlers who have played a lot.  Shami can lead the inexperienced pacers and Jadeja can lead the spinners.

---  Drop over the hill Dhoni, DK and Kedar

---  Drop Rahul because he lacks focus.

---  Develop Gill as long term No.4.  Don't bat him at 3 just because Kohli is not there.

--- Develop Pant as the long term No.5 and keeper.

--- Pandya should become the No.6 batter and 6th bowler.

  

 

--- This team has

6 bowlers

big hitters from 5 to 7

no deadweights 

a potentially solid No.4 .

3 specialist pacers 

2 specialist spinners

 

 

 

I'd switch Pant and Mayank. Pant does not, at this stage in his career, have the kind of complete middle-order game that is required. He is more like Gilly to me - open in ODIs and bat in the middle order in Tests since there is the license to go over the top. Second, move Jaddu to 6 and Pandya to 7. Jaddu cannot hit at the speed than Pandya can and he is more of a "proper" batsman at the domestic level; he has also avgd 42 in tests in the past 2.5 yrs. Rahul Chahar has a higher ceiling, but have Gopal in for him now. Gopal's bowling has gotten better in 50- and 20-over matches, he bats well (scores at a SR of nearly 100 in List A) and fields well.

 

Have Iyer instead of Vihari. Although a No. 3 does not have to be a power hitter, I cannot see Vihari playing the modern ODI game. He would have been well-suited for the early 2000s (and before).

 

No matter what teams we propose, what we will get is this (especially against our whipping boys SL): Dhawan, Rohit, Kohli, Shankar, Dhoni, Pandya, DK, Bhuvi, Bumrah, Shami/Kuldeep, Chahal. Let's just resign ourselves to the inevitable.
