Whatever it takes!!!
That shot by Ravindra shows why he is part of the next fab 4. Amazing batting instincts to go with decent technical foundations and great hand-eye co-ordination. Just looks a great batsman in the making.

International Regular
I would say it's conservative more than logical.
Is the Indian batting line up really that fragile?
If you go through the team :
●Best opening partnership in the world especially in these conditions
●Gill is averaging 50+ at No.3 this year
●The selectors have decided Kohli is undroppable so that's on them
●Sarfraz is incredible in these conditions
●Pant is probably the best keeper batsmen India have ever had
●Jadeja is an ATG Indian all rounder
●Ashwin is probably top 5 greatest No.8's in history
That's enough batting cover in my opinion, they just don't trust Kuldeep Yadav when his record says they should otherwise , it's the same line of thinking that made Ashwin warm the bench at the WTC final last year.

I agree based on how they seemingly neutralised Warne and McGrath in the 2001 series. And Murali a few times. Can't think of any others off the cuff. They did turn McGrath into an all rounder for one game in another series though..
Moss
International Captain
What's this about, I don't seem to remember at all
Did pretty well against Yasir Shah when he was running rings around most teams in the UAE (though there was one test where absolutely destroyed them with 8-40 I think). Was the complete opposite with Dale Steyn though, he absolutely loved playing NZ.

And that was not Kuldeep's fault , they would have dropped Sarfraz aswell if he didn't get that 100 and kept Rahul on.

I think the commentators and maybe some posters here are getting worked up thinking its a minefield and that India should run through every side who bat here as if by right.
Its a slow low black soil pitch where more often than not you gonna have to prise batsmen out.
I do agree they have been silly to keep both long on and long off back for all spinners against all batters today. At least one of them should be up saving the 1 in the V until batsmen show they can go downtown either side of the bowler with ease.

Maybe an unpopular take here but Conway has been extremely luck to have made his runs all 3 innings this series.
