their is nothing called readymade player....every player improves with time 

Mayank in his chances has looked out of place in t20 and he brings nothing new , Mayank or even gill bats with same tempo as others. Reason to look at someone like shaw is coz he has that tempo that gives us a fiery start and puts opposition off their plans. Mayank , gill bring nothing new which dhawan was already doing, in the case ill stick to dhawan

 

Mayank bosses spin no matter the format of the game though. He has given his ipl franchises whirlwind starts. not well rounded enough or young enough though i agree.

That applies to technique and say new skills like a new variation for a bowler or adapting to a new condition etc . Not for fitness and fielding which is as basic as it gets. 

OTOH you persist with someone who is lacking a little in fitness if they have oodles of natural ability. You can train to get fitter like kohli did, you can't coach hand eye co-ordination and natural talent to hit the ball.

That applies for overall game, Someone like yuvraj singh had one area of playing spin extremely weak but he got better after year . Guys like KL n Raina took their attacking game to different level , with KL it wasnt even much there as he was very much in a red ball player mould.

U gotta invest in X factor players, coz they ll win u matches from nowhere. 

 

We all know poor a fielder was bumrah .

Pant went in Australia with weight issues and became fit in a month and ended up as hero

Tahir played for Sa and was like most pakistani fielders , but he made it XI coz he bought something different.

 

If your bring a different n X factor skill, these things can be given time to improve.

or course natural skill and hand eye coordination are as basic as fielding and fitness for an athlete. That goes without saying. However at the top most level natural ability gets you only that far.

fielding and fitness should be basic for a cricketer but a mildly unfit guy who is great at his core skill is always going to be more valuable than someone who is extremely fit but not that talented, all other things being equal. Someone like Inzi had a long career for this reason.
