Jadeja has been good.

SKY probably shouldn't even be in the squad IMO.

Thakur will get punished eventually but he's barely actually bowling at the moment - he's being used as a part timer / partnership breaker. If they're going to use Shami in the same way if he's in the side then they probably shouldn't bother.
No, it just means Hardik bowls less and his role changes to Thakur’s

As long as Thakur is there in the first xi, I feel significantly less confident about India's chances especially in the crunch games later.

I just hope he either costs India a match in the group stage or gets taken apart at 12 rpo so that he can finally be thrown out!

Group Stage will soon be irrelevant to India (and possibly another 1-2 teams). It will come down to winning knockout games which India have sucked at so badly!!

India look as far ahead of the competition here as Aus did in 03 [almost]. Best batting and bowling in the tournament.

It completely ****s the balance.

We either take the risk of 5 bowlers by bringing in Ishan/Sky for Hardik and Shami for Shardul, or just bring in Ashwin for Hardik and Jadeja bats one position higher.

Neither is great but too bad all our batsmen refuse to learn passable offspin which is possibly the easiest thing in any sport to be competent at.

Don't think Jadeja will bat at 6 and Ashwin at 7. Too high for them. So it looks like India will have to settle for 6+1+4 combination i.e. playing specialists.

Anyone who is able to bowl part time should start practicing in the nets. The likes of Kohli, Rohit, Iyer... May need a few overs from them.
