- Manish Pandey:

KL Rahul wasted two precious opportunities in the middle-order, and knowing how intense the competition for that slot is, it was a sin from Rahul. Ideally, Pandey should walk his way back into the playing XI, as his recent form has been superb, to say the least. A candidate who has already impressed at number four in limited opportunities, Pandey should grab this chance with both hands.
