#3 Nair’s rise presents selection dilemma
India’s playing eleven has been like a rollercoaster ride during the current home season with players coming in and going out due to a slew of injuries. Interestingly, Nair might not have come into the side were it not for Ajinkya Rahane’s finger injury.
Now that the 25-year old has shown what he is capable of, the team combination going forward (one-off match against Bangladesh followed by a 4-match series against Australia) could cause quite a few headaches for the think tank.
When Rahane recovers adequately, skipper Virat Kohli faces a tough decision on his hands and might just have to compromise on his preference for playing five bowlers.
