nah at least when Harshal performs his teams win
whenever Pandey performed for srh they lost
Markram will bat 3. Its his preferred spot in T20 cricket and he is captain.

Ehh, he's played 6 games at 3 in t20I vs 21 games at 4 and has fantastic numbers at 4. Not saying that it's his prefered position, but I'de assume he slots in at 4 for SA. Finding a #3 to is easier than finding a #4 in t20.

But Harshal never performs
In ODI cricket not T20 cricket.
SA20 and psl was as a opener.
When selecting the squad you also look at what all players bring as a package. Unfortunately for rassie when one looks at those competing for batting spots he is the only one not offering anything besides batting. All of markram, Stubbs, reeza and Miller are gun fielders. While qdk, Klaassen, rickelton and breetzke all offer a viable keeping option.
He played at 4 to accommodate Rossouw. RR's decline means that isn't required. The last T20 series he batted 3.
The team has Stubbs, Klaassen and Miller who can bat 4. Stubbs batted 4 with markram 3 for the eastern cape Sunrisers and they did it well. Stubbs has continued that form in the IPL at 4/5 for DC.

'Don't want to change a single bit': the CSK transition from MS Dhoni to Ruturaj Gaikwad
CSK's new leader reflects in the early stages of this year's IPL and how he does not believe he is batting any differently

Just comes across as such a natural captain and leader. Hope he does well at the international level and is an option for us in the future.

Yes I contemplated this but the rise of Gaikwad just cannot be ignored, what he has done in 4 years at CSK is remarkable, his impact has been so huge even the Indian national team had to pick him even though there are so many contenders for the opening slot.
The fact that they made him captain when Dhoni is still in the team shows the level of faith the Chennai stakeholders have..
Then you look at the numbers and there is very little to separate Vijay & Gaikwad in terms of runs output , despite the former being at CSK for over a decade ...
Murali Vijay (09-20)
89 innings - 2205 runs @25.94 , SR - 123.46
Ruturaj Gaikwad (20-24)
59 innings - 1952 runs @39.04 , SR- 133.88

Only 250 runs less in 30 innings, at 14 runs and 10 sr higher.... It's looking tough to make a case for Vijay

Sanath ahead of Simmons? I remember MI fans being quite taken with him.
EDIT: Also maybe Rayudu ahead of Kishan.
