What was the thought behind .. ???

WI 2nd ODI. DIdnt watch the game but i dont understand why would you play 6 full time bowlers and Pandya who wasnt bowling till recently, in the game bowled more overs than Mukesh and Umran combined ?? If hardik only had to bowl then they should have played Rituraj for one of Umran/Pankaj/Axar. 

 

Also Axar at 4 . Why ??

To keep the series alive till the last game.

Mukesh and Umran are not in WC scheme of things, Pandya is and probably he is being seen as new ball bowler now considering Bumrah is still a lottery and someone has to share new ball with Siraj. I doubt Shami will be play in all games and he will be rested/rotated. Hardik will also be rested and that's where Shardul will pitch in as the allrounder.
