Excellent opportunity to audition Shaw/Mayank in case KL bats at 4. Even if KL opens, TM should plan to give rest to Rohit for SA and get Shaw/Mayank in.

Knowing TM they ll make KL open and when dhawan comes back they ll shift him back in middle

Shaw will establish himself.. I have full confidence

True.

Breaking - KL Rahul will be keeping for India in the T20 series vs New Zealand starting tomorrow and he will be opening as well along with Rohit Sharma.

So what is the lineup? Pant should still play.

Agree. Pandey does not have the big hitting capabilities that is required at number 5-6 in T20. But guess what , I think it is an intentional move by TM for last several years to try out ODI players in T20 to keep the standard low in order to protect their favoured individuals. The funny thing is Manish probably would have done well with more backing in ODI lineup in place of Rayudu and Karthik.
