Rohit and Kohli are guaranteed starters so what do we need in the last undecided slot?

[SinNombre]

What is certain going into the T20 WC

 

Rohit

Kohli

SKY (or another hard hitter)

WK : Pant, Ishan, Samson, KL

Iyer (or another accumulator in the middle order)

Hardik

spin a/r : Jadeja, Sundar, Axar, Krunal

Bhuvi

spinner : Chahar, Chahal, Ashwin, Varun

Bumrah

 

That's 10 players. What should we looking for the 11th player?

 

T20 medium pacer or quick? Nattu or Saini or Prasidh or Shami

Another hard-hitter? one of Pant, Ishan, Samson, KL

Medium pacer who can slog? Shardul 

Another spin a/r?

 

 

[Majestic]

Rohit

Kohli

Pandya

Bumrah

And possibly Bhuvi

 

5 names are certain.

 

Then you have

 

SKY( mostly certain unless he produces a KL type series now)

Pant

Kishan/KL/Iyer( one name)

 

In all-rounders dept, Hardik and Jadeja slots in at 6 & 7.

 

In bowling dept, Bumrah and Bhuvi are confirmed.

 

Third pacer- Shardul/Natrajan/Shami

 

Sundar also has chance as third spinner.

The question though is how certain is this? Today it succeeded so it seems to the flavor of the day for Kohli, but what if there is a couple of failures?  Bound to happen considering the nature of PP. 

 

This is not a bad plan if they are willing to stick with it, even though it will take Kishan out of the team the plan is good.

 

Rohit

Kohli

SKY 

WK : Pant, Ishan (if pant is rested)

Iyer (KL if Iyer is rested)

Hardik (he is certain)

spin a/r : Jadeja, Sundar (if jadu needs to be rested

shardhul

Bhuvi

spinner : Chahar, Ashwin, Varun (we need to make a decision on who the main spinner is soon, give ashwin a few matches)

Nattu

Bumrah
