*Official* West Indies in India 2019

Whatever it takes!!!
Its a T20 :) I do hope Jadeja is given the responsibility of batting at 5 for CSK. Would love to see them play Raina, MSD and Jaddu at 3,4 and 5. No matter who bats above or below them. Jadeja can play a decent role at #5 in this format, I feel. And India seem to want the 6 bowling options in their side.

I mean we don't have a better batsman than Jadeja? Really? If he plays as 5th bowler, that's different but he is one of our top 5 batsmen? In T20Is, his highest score is 25, in domestic t20s his highest score is 48.

I think they were really hoping Krunal will grow into the role of the #6 and 6th bowler. But his failure and Jadeja's recent successes mean he is now the front runner.

Since when "we need 6 bowlers" became a thing? That too in 20 over games when 6th bowler will not deliver more than 1-2 overs. I mean there was a time when Tendulkar, Mongia, Sehwag and Yuvraj used to together complete 5th bowler quota, that too in 50 overs cricket. Pandya as 5th bowler is much better than that combo and suddenly we need cushion of a 6th bowler! So we will play only 4 batsmen and a keeper? Much better to get one of the batsmen to get into bit of bowling form (Rohit and Kohli) than go in with one batsman less.

Also, check Jadeja's SR in T20Is. He is no Pandya for lower order hitting.

I'm a CSK fan and am constantly surprised by how effective Chahar is despite how unbelievably innocuous he looks.

Pant has such rubbish keeping technique. Looks especially bad against Sundar.
