  • Shikhar Dhawan just plays the ODI format, but his diminishing returns might mean that he may no longer be preferred as India's first choice opener alongside Rohit Sharma. Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill's rise too doesn't bode well for Dhawan's place in the team.

  • Suryakumar Yadav is a different beast as far as T20 cricket is concerned, but he hasn't been able to cement his place in the ODI team just yet. The management will have to take a call as to whether they are willing to give Sky a go in ODIs based on his T20I numbers. In 15 innings for India, Sky has just hit 384 runs.

  • If Suryakumar Yadav does make it to the team, Pant's place will come under the scanner because Sky, in all probability will bat at number 4. The management will have to take a call if they are willing to drop Pant from ODIs on the basis of his T20 numbers.

  • With Umran Malik's growth as a pace bowler, will India be able to find a place for him the eleven? If he indeed comes in, it will, in all probability, be in place of Bhuvneshwar Kumar or Shami. Will the Indian management be able to take this tough call?

  • Jasprit Bumrah and Jadeja are currently out with injuries and also missed the T20 World Cup 2022. From workload management to leaves, Team India and BCCI did all they could to prevent such injuries leading up to the World Cup in Australia, but eventually, it was all in vain. Will the BCCI be able to take care of their players heading into the all-important World Cup this time?
