I hope Nair plays the next Test at least. Same with Sai Sudarshan. Get the feeling they have much more to offer.

Whatever it takes!!!
I think the only way we have a shot at 20 wickets is if we bench one of them, most likely Sai Suds, for NKR.
I would go -
Jaiswal
Rahul
Nair
Gill (c)
Pant (vc) (wk)
Jaddu
NKR
Kuldeep
Akashdeep
Arshdeep
Prasidh

India gonna be bowled out soon anyway.
New ball is doing a lot more like in the morning session.

No he shouldn’t be. He shouldn’t have a spot regardless of what he does here. Either play a fill batsmen or someone who bowls more than 5. At this point, Gill could throw down five overs as a change up.

Nah his bowling looks pretty shot and even if he can get the ball to swing, the captain and/or other management dont seem to have any faith in him as a bowler. He really should not be playing for India if that is the case.

Would be hard to drop him if he clobbers a quick 70 now

I like most of that team except Reddy's seam isn't the kind to be the difference-maker. But I want him in the side for his batting too so yeah, SSD might have to make way. The other option, controversial as it might be, is to leave Jadeja out and play both SSD and NKR. You have KD there, so Jadeja's surplus to requirements, especially with his batting being so patchy these days.

God no, picking crap "all rounders" because they slog a few is so dire especially for a gun team like India.
Those type of players who smack a few normally only come of once or twice a series with the bat anyhow.
Thakur has to take some wickets in the second innings or at least look somewhat competent.

No it wouldn’t. Or rather, it shouldn’t.

This is pointless batting. Get on or get out.

What on earth were they thinking picking Thakur.
Played like he'd been selected out of the crowd so far.
