What is the utility of picking so many Consolidators Upfront if most of them invariably fail when the conditions favour pace / swing bowling ?

Consolidators are picked so that they can inflate their averages by playing selfish innings on flat tracks. 

 

That gives them the fat IPL contracts and ad money. 

 

Is this a rhetorical question? India has always valued selfish consolidators - outside of Yuvi and SKY, who has not been a consolidator in the past 15 years?

We don't have such batsmen today. Do you think Samson, or Shaw, or Kishan can be trusted here?

 

Only Kohli did it in the past. Rohit did, but mostly in inconsequential matches.

Kohli is fine but other two, if they can't deal with such situations, might as well play high SR players. Atleast if they come off,we'll have better advantage

If they do that then they will be accused of Tuk tuk. I do understand where the OP is coming from based on our current team.

no they tuk tuk on flat decks and fail to do even that when there is swing/seam. Recurring theme.

 

Rahul comes with a premeditated mindset to tuk tuk whatever the situation

Most of Rahul's dismissals are from defensive shots or tentative pokes in big matches.

 

One can still excuse Rohit as he was trying to hit a 6 and that is ok in T20s.

 

Rahul should be removed from the top 3.

We have proper quota based selection in this team.

 

Senior Citizen quota - Ashwin

Handicapped quota - Chahal

Differently abled - Pandya

LGBT - KL Rahul

 

Not able to figure on which quota Bhuvaneswar plays. The guy is trying to bounce Miller without having any awareness of his own abilities.

Lol, 

Top 3 is not for consolidating they are in the team because of seniority. High SR/ Low SR doesn't matter their positions were fixed.

 

 

Rahul isn't that much of a senior with Kohli, Rohit, Karthick, Ashwin Bhuvi, Shami around.
