NASIM : "Abhishek Sharma's sole purpose is to maintain the career strike rate. not hitting big knocks, not hitting the winning shot. "

Vaik: "Gill is a very good batsman and getting a longer rope, but I feel Jitesh should be replaced by Sanju and open then have gill bat like Kohli at 3, give him the role to anchor the innings at one end and rest go bang bang. Unless we are 30 for 3 situation Axar shouldn't bat up the order. " Think Tilak at 3 is better. Left-hander, has great game sense and has done the job for a while
