No Narine as opener
Hear me out! This is just an intuition. I feel GG brought out the best in Narine as an opener. It's just those vibe and comfort things- he thrives under GG and that was clear to see. Also Narine the batter is a one season cheat code as per me basis the past too. I'd take the tough call of not opening with him this year and going for this lineup
Batting first lineup
- Rahane
- QDK
- Raghuvanshi
- Venky
- Rinku
- Russell
- Ramandeep
- Narine
- Rana
- Nortje/Spencer
- Vaibhav
Varun comes in as impact player for Raghuvanshi while bowling. This attack preserves the left right combo, allows all three of Raghuvanshi, Rinku and Venky to play where they should. Most balanced in my opinion. Thoughts?
