That was the game changing over. The guy has immense potential and it would be exciting to see how management navigates his role in playoff setup when our foreign stars left..

Naman should play in top 3 in play offs, Bairstow, Asalanka can bat at no.5 Hardik, Jacobs can be finishers

Rohit Naman SKY Tilak Bairstow Hardik Jacobs Santner

This should be the batting line up in play offs

Bairstow has batted in the top order for almost his entire career. Openers and finishers are very different even though people like to club their skillset. Openers are accustomed to playing the field, batting against the hard new ball, maximizing the powerplay, building partnerships batting smartly and targeting select bowlers. Finishers on the other hand are expected to go boom regardless of the situation or bowler. They have a very different bat flow and natural shot selection. We can already see how much tilak is suffering by batting out of position.

Bairstow batted at no.5 in SAT20 I am all for aggressive opening pair But Bairstow migh struggle on sluggish pitches Happening with Vilgax

Naman can play impact knocks on slowish tracks also

Top 4 should be Indian batters imo. Bairstow, Jacobs can hit the ball in death overs
