The Indian cricket workforce have been utterly outplayed by West Indies as they slumped to a six-wicket loss within the second ODI match in Barbados. The guests determined to relaxation each Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli after profitable the primary match of the collection however their batters have been unable carry out on Saturday as India have been all out for simply 181. Former Pakistan opener Salman Butt believes that the present India workforce lacks gamers who can ideally exchange Rohit or Virat at current and he had an attention-grabbing resolution to the issue. Butt mentioned that India can experiment with the opening pair of Shubman Gill and Shikhar Dhawan with Rohit and Kohli coming at No.3 and No.4 respectively.

“Clearly, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma did not play so everybody was on their very own. They missed the duo’s presence. Earlier, when the likes of Dhoni and different fundamental gamers have been rested, Suresh Raina, Gautam Gambhir or Yuvraj Singh would deal with the batting of their absence. However the present gamers have not been capable of set up themselves in ODI cricket. Earlier than the World Cup, they need to kind it out,” Butt mentioned on his YouTube channel.

“I feel the best way ODIs are performed, if the brand new gamers aren’t capable of carry out on frequent foundation, perhaps you possibly can have Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill opening, and perhaps Rohit Sharma can come one down with Virat Kohli at 4. Then you possibly can have Suryakumar and different gamers like KL Rahul. There are 3-4 gamers on this workforce who play within the opening position, and after they got here down, the output is not the identical,” he additional mentioned.
