The Indian team with 15 members for the Asia Cup has been announced. The tournament is scheduled to begin on 9 September and India’s first match is against UAE on 10 September. Let us know what can be India’s Posible playing-11 in this tournament.
3 options of opening The Indian squad has 3 opening options in the form of Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill and Sanju Samson. Abhishek does the opening, while Shubman and Samson can also play on number-3. Captain Suryakumar Yadav told in the press conference that Gill was not present, so Samson was opening.
When Gill was not there, both Samson and Abhishek made the opening position their own. Where Abhishek scored 2 centuries, Samson scored 3 centuries. If Gill is a vice -captain, then his playing is also confirmed, he will open, then one of Samson or Abhishek will be out. If the left-right combination is followed, then only Abhishek and Shubman will start. In that condition, Samson can be sent to number-3.
Tilak will be out if Samson landed on number-3 If Abhishek and Shubman get off the opening, Samson can be launched on number-3. Because if any one had to choose as wicketkeeper batter in Samson and Jitesh, then the management will give priority to Samson, who has scored 3 centuries. However, Tilak is at number-2 in the T20 batter rankings and it will be difficult to exclude them.
If Tilak gets a chance, Samson can be excluded, because it is not possible to play Samson out of the top-3 position. There are only 2 options on number-3, but captain Suryakumar Yadav is confirmed to play on number-4. If the wicket of the right hand opener falls first, then Surya can also land on number-3. So that left-right hand combination remains.
There is another condition, where both Samson and Tilak can get a chance. That is Samson on No. 3 and Tilak Verma on number-5. In this condition, the team will have 2 left handers and 3 right hand batters up to 5 numbers. The team can then give a chance to 3 all -rounders at number 6, 7 and 8. However, it is a bit difficult to have this condition. Rinku Singh is also named for the position of No. 5, but it is difficult to get a chance given to the remaining candidates.
Will all -rounder play 2 or 3? A Philosophy of coach Gautam Gambhir is seen in every format, giving all -rounders more and more opportunities. The T20 squad has 3 all-rounders in the form of Hardik Pandya, Akshar Patel and Shivam Dubey. All three can handle positions number 5, 6 and 7.
Hardik and Akshar can also bowl 4-4 overs. At the same time, Dubey can also remove the over if needed. Dubey and Hardik will also play the role of Finishers, while the letters can handle the innings and also finish. The team has also sent the management letter many times when the wicket fell early in the powerplay. In such a situation, it is almost confirmed for the three all-rounders to live in playing-11.
If the team keeps out the management Samson, Jitesh Sharma will have to play at number-5, 6 or 7 on the position of Finisher. In this condition, the team can make only 2 all-rounders a part of playing-11. Because the last 4 positions of the bowlers are almost confirmed.
Arshadeep, Bumrah and Varun decided to play Arshdeep Singh, Jaspreet Bumrah and Varun Chakraborty are sure to play. All three will bat on number 9 to 11, as the batting of all three is weak. If the pitch is spin friendly, Kuldeep Yadav will get a chance on number-8. At the same time, if the pitch is helpful for the fast bowlers, Harshit Rana can get a chance instead of Kuldeep.
However, in addition to 4 specialist bowlers from number 8 to 11, the team will have 2 all -rounders as Akshar and Akshar. Those who together can bowl 8 overs. Apart from these, Shivam Dubey can also bowling, so the options of bowling will not be reduced, but the lower order batting can definitely weaken.
Bumrah can also be relaxed Team India also have to face UAE and Oman in the first round of the Asia Cup. Experiment can be done in these matches. Here the batting can also be strengthened by resting Jaspreet Bumrah.
Team India will definitely focus on strengthening its bowling by including Team India Bumrah against teams like Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Bangladesh. India will clash with UAE on 10 September, Pakistan on 14 and Oman on 19.
