S Iyer or KL Rahul at no.5 in WTC Final 2023

[vvvslaxman]

At the Oval Kuldeep will be more handy. Ever since trimurthis started sucking this compromising bowling choices became unavoidable.

kuldeep can also bat at 8 or 9. he is not a dud with the bat. just because he is not asswin's level with bat doesn't mean he is a noob. better to have him in place of asswin and sundar in place of jaddu

Shreyas Iyer's career is effectively over I guess. By the time he comes back it will be too late for him. Thanks for winning us the Mirpur test 2023.

Rahul comes in then.

Rahul is needed. His Test record recently is decent.

He was just feeding on the hundred he scored vs England and South Africa away in those two series.

 

The England one was quality (first two tests) but then he lost the rythm post that.

 

The South Africa first test hundred was okayish, not anything special. The bowling in the first spell of the day was not good and lacked control from Rabada and Lungi which allowed Rahul and Mayank to get a good start.
