Safe C/VC Choices
Rachin Ravindra, Ruturaj Gaikwad
5) STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES
(i) An experienced batting unit - When you see this lineup, you see a lot of experienced players in Gaikwad, Conway, Rachin, Dube, Curran, Shankar, Jadeja and MSD. Even having players like Hooda, Tripathi and Overton in this year's squad, also gives a lot of experience in this format of the game, They have a well balanced, a great batting depth, and a well sorted batting unit, especially one that can calmly push through pressure situations.
(ii) A balanced combination - They have all possible combinations available in their Playing XI itself. An offbreak bowler, a couple of left arm orthodox bowlers, a couple of left arm seamers and a couple of right arm seamers as well. They also have Shreyas and Noor, two wrist spinners bowling with different hands, so the franchise could easily rotate bowlers depending on the matchups against the opposition batters. They also have enough left handed and right handed batsmen in their batting order to continue with a Left-Right combination and send any batsman depending on the situation to continue the momentum and to put pressure on the fielding side.
(iii) 5-Time Champions - They are one of the most successful IPL franchise, and have won the IPL trophy 5 times, and have reached the playoffs 7 other times, a total of 12 times in 15 seasons that they've played in. They are the most experienced and most sought-after unit, under the guidance of the most experienced former Indian captain. They know how to handle tough situations and not take losses as a demotivating factor.
