Akashdeep has to bat at no. 9 for India

[saransh]

He showed enough ability with the bat. He ain't Shardul Thakur level but there is something definitely there to work upon. No way DSP or Rana are better batsmen than him.

Don't know how Rana got so hyped he is a way inferior bat than Akash

Rana has only played a couple of Tests. He has shown he can bat at domestic level but sending that moron Siraj who's a genuine no. 11 at 9 was shocking. It was similar to them sending Siraj as a nightwatchman against NZ.

 

Looks like Rohit hasn't learned anything and lacks critical thinking and has a very low IQ. He can't even learn from his mistakes which even dogs & cats do.

Bhai, in the same forum few months back people were questioning Akash's ability, calling him a slogger.

Ultimately, when the need came he rose to the occasion.

 

Harshit too is a handy batsman, don't judge and discard him so early. He too will come off once he gets some opportunities.

 

Likes of Harshit, Yudhvir, Gurnoor, Akashdeep, Hangargekar are your no 8/9 type batters and are good with the ball.

The thing with Rana is he has looked shockingly poor with the bat on all occasions he batted. It's not about making runs, he should have a somewhat survivable defence. Umesh Yadav too was a good slogger but he is not someone you would think of developing into a semi reliable no.9 he was a pure slogger, maybe Rana is somewhat like him. 

Akashdeep can be quite useful if he is willing to work on his defence

Akash is quite ok, but seems more like a no. 10 to me. however, since he is marginally better than boom and definitely better than DSP Shiraaz, Akash should play at 9
