As Rinku Singh's 2nd biggest fan, it pains me to say this, but it's time

Rinku is a massive problem now. At No.7/8, a batsman who doesn't bowl is a big liability if out of form.

 

In the crisis situation vs USA, he played a shocker 6(19)

In a finishing situation vs NAM, he played 1(5)

 

Gambhir needs to be ruthless here. Washington Sundar is a straight logical swap.

In Premadasa, Sundar will be handy. Pooks will come in with 6 spin options, we can't rely just on 2-3. 

So if the ball is turning wont Kuldeep be a better option spcly vs pak ??

KD also should play.

 

We need all 4 in the XI....KD, Chakri, Washi, Axar. I won't be surprised if even Dube enjoys bowling on that pitch. Don't need pacers.

Iyer is a top order batter and ideal for no. 4 spot. He should be a shoo-in after the WT20 to replace SKY. For lower order Parag is a better fit but I'll give Rinku this tourney and then make the call.

 

After the WT20, Iyer, Jaiswal, Suryavanshi, Parag and Vipraj Nigam should be brought into the mix with Iyer as the captain. Need more naturally attacking or multi-dimensional players. Vipraj can play the role of Axar and Parag is a much better option compared to Sundar in LOIs.

The problem with him is his lack of spin playing ability.  

 

He sucks against spin in this format, he can't anchor through the middle overs when it's 10/3 on a tough pitch  nor can he put spinners under pressure with big hits on flat wickets 

 

His only utility is to come and blast pace at the death but even then, that's usually on pitches where the entire batting lineup had fired anyway. 

 

Need someone more versatile like Riyan Parag in that lineup.

Nahin. That'll lengthen our tail. If Kuldeep plays then Arshdeep sits out. We cna't have more than 3 specialist bowlers. Bumrah and Varun C are certinties which leaves only one spot open. If it's a turner drop Arshdeep to get in Kuldeep, though I would prefer an all-rounder (Parag or even Sundar), else stick to Arshdeep.
