Texan Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Highly unlikely to happen but how about fielding this XI in the World T20 1. Jaiswal 2. Abhishek Sharma 3. SKY 4. Pant 5. Dube 6. Ashutosh Sharma / Shashank Singh 7. Nitish Reddy 8. H Pandya 9. Kuldeep Yadav 10. Bumrah 11. Mayank Yadav / Mohsin Batting firepower all the way to 8. Abhishek, Dube and Ashutosh/Shashank would be the power hitters. Ideally I didn't want Pandu, but couldn't think of a better seam bowling AR option. On spin friendly conditions, Pandu could make way for Axar. Bowling wise: 7 options: Abhishek, Dube, Pandya and Reddy can together complete 8 overs. Ashutosh/Shashank also appear to be ARs but never seen them bowl. No egggsperienced sheeeeet anchor roles!!! JaFanatic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuldeep and Abhishek being the main duo Jaiswal may have to bowl his leg break more often than not. How about replacing Ashutosh with Rinku? Both are pinch hitters but with Rinku you've a part time off break option. So both Jaiswal and Rinku could share the role of third spinner if need be. As for pace is concerned, I agree there ain't much option there for the third pacer without compromising on the depth of the batting line up. You've got Nitish and Dube as 4th pacers if someone has a bad day. I like your team better except that I'd prefer Rinku in place of Ashutosh as much as I'd love to see him in the 11.

The idea with batting down to 8 is to keep hitting even if team loses 3-4 wickets early. Often teams without deep batting slow down in such situations when they feel batting doesn't have enough depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can he be improved bowling wise to become a reliable 5th bowler ? Nishant Sindhu is very raw, but he is an ideal no 7 though. Skilled in both facets of game.
