IND vs WI: Selection Committee and Team Management’s Dilemma
The India tour of West Indies is fast approaching, and the BCCI Selection Committee and Team Management face a major challenge in assembling the optimal team combination for the two Test matches. The trio of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ajinkya Rahane remain the stalwarts of the team, however, India are looking to test their depth and thus, there will be a few changes in the team.
Opening Order Settled
The opening order is set and there will be no changes to it. The team will be led by skipper Rohit Sharma, accompanied by the young Shubman Gill, who has earned his place in the Indian Cricket Team with his impressive performances across all three formats. Although there are various options in the top order, Rahul Dravid is unlikely to tinker with the explosive opening duo.
Battle for Number 3 Spot
A competition will ensue for the number 3 spot, between Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad. Both batters are eager to demonstrate their skills on the grand stage, causing Virat Kohli to move down the order.
Conclusion
The upcoming India tour of West Indies presents a difficult task to the BCCI Selection Committee and Team Management, as they strive to find the perfect team combination. While the opening order is settled, the number 3 spot will be contested by Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad, pushing Virat Kohli down the order.
