#T20WorldCup @IndianMourinho on Team India:
India could keep the same XI, in the same order, and ace the rest of the group games, but if they want to tap all that they have out of their batters, the order should be:
Rohit
Kohli
SKY
Pant
KL
Hardik
Jadeja
What it does:

What it does:
@IndianMourinho Taps into Kohli's PP value
Gives India an added dimension of range vs pace down the order in the form of KL, in addition to power vs pace that they already have
Pushes SKY up to a role he would be more comfortable at, where his value vs spin and PP pace kicks in

@IndianMourinho But there is a catch: at the moment if you introduce spin in PP, KL (Ind) tries to take them down. Pairing Rohit and Kohli will force one of them to go out of their way and weaken each other.
That's fine because the benefits far outweigh the disadvantage.

@IndianMourinho Ideally you would want Kohli at 5 to make this perfect, but that's unlikely to happen given he is too big and is late into his career. KL, on the other hand, is one of the younger players and has already been part of a radical change in the ODI setup.
