SAFETY-FIRST APPROACH

Despite India's abundant hitting talent at top, selectors have opted for steady batters again

SAFETY-FIRST APPROACH

DESPITE all the hitting talent that the IPL throws up season after season, India have been reluctant to buy that approach with the national side. For starters, they have been a top-heavy side, relying heavily on players who play a more conservative role than a more adventurous, aggressive role.

As the selection committee picked the squad for the T20Is against South Africa on Sunday, despite their decision to rest (purely an assumption since the press release doesn't mention they are dropped) Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, they have largely stuck to the conservative approach. Resting key players gives an opportunity for the selectors and the team management to try other options, especially players who would offer a different style of play. In Prithvi Shaw, Sanju Samson and Rahul Tripathi, India do have such options. What they have picked are more or less like-for-like replacements for Rohit, Kohli and the injured Suryakumar Yadav.
