Sai Kishore versus Santner as MI take on GT in eliminator

FOR the longest time, one question that kept coming back every season of the Indian Premier League: Why are Mitchell Santner and R Sai Kishore not playing regularly?

There were other forms of the same question as well. What more do they have to do to deserve a place in the playing XI? How are they not bowling four overs every game?

The questions did not come without reason. Any format, any tournament, any opponent, you watch either of them take the field and roll their arms; they made a difference. Santner more internationally and Sai Kishore domestically. In the IPL, however, they were not even getting on the field.
