Wonder why Kohli even came out to bat.. Should have just let Pant come in at 4 and get those 20-odd runs.

Or maybe Kohli is getting used to batting at 4, so he can have Gabbar, Rohit and KL in the top 3? 

 

Yep, thats probably the plan.

Virat Kohli: "This was a clinical performance, and that's how we want to build on each series. We have ticked a few more boxes this time. Brilliant from Navdeep. He has done well in ODI cricket, and he's bowling well in T20s, with experienced guys like Jasprit, Bhuvi and Shardul. It's a really good sign for the team. It's good to have Jasprit back again. He was really keen to bowl again, and his pace was up again. We have to choose who will be our best skills. I think there'll be one player who will be a surprise package. Prasidh Krishna is someone who has bowled really well in domestic cricket. (On picking Washington Sundar ahead of Jadeja) I think they have a lot of left-handers, and the idea was about match-ups. We need balance, and you need more than five bowlers in T20 cricket. It was a really good surface, and we pulled things back really well. We kept picking wickets, and we didn't let them to 170-175, which I thought would have been a par score. (On choice of number three) The thought process is simple - we need to see guys step up, win matches under pressure. Me going in at 4 helps us too, like I did at Wankhede [against West Indies]. At the same time, give young players a chance."

Finally some good strategy behind the selections. Hopefully the TM management drops Dhawan for Samson or ask Sundar to open and play another batter or bowler according to the team we are facing. That maybe a step too high for the TM but hopefully it happens

Yup it's nonsense to play Dhwan ahead of Samson.

But the fact that the rat is aware of something other than his manicure and hair styling appointments is commendable.

Kohli should rest himself in the third T20. Dont care even if we lose, who cares. This is the last couple of months we can experiment before the T20 WC
