Sandeep and Mohit are role-player they are doing v.v.specific role/thing for their respective side which may not work in anyother combination.

DC started using Mukesh in a v.specific role to. Bowl defensive in middle to last overs. let batter make rr dip down batters make mistake of them or the next bowler.

 

 

 

This is the distinction that eveyrone has to understand. Same with Batting. Some players play specific role. Just because Ashwin's pinch hitting works for RR, doesn't mean we should contemplate about bringing him back. We did that with DK because there was absolutely no Indian finisher at that time. That didn't go very well for us. He did play a specific role for RCB on a specific ground.

Rahane and Dube for CSK -- they need 20 ball 40 from them. Rahane taking down pacers and Dube taking down spinners.

If Rahane is out and spinners are bowling send in Dube if pacers are bowling in Mitchell.

Sandeep, Mohit, Bhuvi - Dravid's dream combo! 

also add harshal and undercutter.

[Lord]

This is why don't want such players. You have to very reliable if you are not contrbuting with bat/field

 

Khaleel when he leaks runs becomes very big liability

[The Realist]

Big no to trundler Ahmed. Bowls more wides than takes wickets and sprays it all over the place.

WHen we say speed variation  we are talking about 130 to 150  Not  95 to 130  (Mohit)

95-130 mph from super-speedster Mohitrundler

So who still wants Mohit and Khaleel

[maniac]

Mohit deserves a biopic for his comeback story like Tambe but not a slot in the international side. 
 

Khaleel is improving but all of a sudden so many names have popped up that he seems way back in the pecking order but since he is a leftie he is on current form better than Arshdeep.

[Texan]

My first choices would be:

Mohsin (if he can stay fit)

Bunrah

Mayank

 

To be honest, Mohit has been super impressive bowling those last few overs. He bowls good stump to stump lines and his slower balls are deceptive. Could be an outside contender. Khaleel: not yet convinced.
