“Sometimes I think we could see someone like Bumrah rest, some could also rest. There could be -Sanju Samson could play a few games. But with all seriousness, if you play a eliminatory game, I feel that all the slots are full. You have to play Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakravarthy together.”

“I don't think there is not a debate about it. They have to play. Bumrah, Arshdeep, Kuldeep and Varun Chakravarthy, if they are your four bowls with Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel to do the rest, this is a team's killer. You don't need Bat Insurance at number eight.”

“The biggest question sign of my head is whether Sanju Samson will play or not. His Kerala Premier League League-Kochi Blue Tigers- won this tournament. His brother, Sally, was the captain. He had good news. We can get some good news here? Maybe no. Delivery for Sanju himself, “Ashwin said.
