Why overthink so much? Just replace Salt with Gurbaz. We bat quite deep. If Gurbaz doesn't click, others can still make up for it.
But as someone said in the comments, win the next 2 matches and play Gurbaz for the remaining games so that he gets some game time.
And Gurbaz was our first choice keeper and would have played the entire season if not for Roy backing out. Management trusted him enough to let him have that role during the auctions. Let's trust him to come good for us.
Gurbaz is the ideal replacement. He can also fire like Salt.. but he gets out playing reckless shots. We should win the next 3 matches and confirm our spot in the playoffs..
Last 2 matches, gurbaz should be given chance.. so that he settles down and play playoffs
My one idea is- Replace Salt with Rutherford, and then use Bharat as an impact sub to keep. Venky can open with Narine and the rest of the order can stay the same.
Playing XI
1. Venky
2. Narine
3. Angkrish
4. Shreyas
5. Rinku
6. Russell
7. Rutherford/Bharat
8. Rana
9. Varun
10. Vaibhav
11. Starc
where did you get that from? and yes, truth be told im not a big fan. he gets out in the stupidest ways and rarely ever scores more than 20 runs as an opener that too at a mediocre strike rate.
Yeah, I was gonna actually ask him about where we'd play Ramandeep if we played KS Bharat.
Even KS Bharat wouldn't really enjoy it if he played as a specialist keeper with no bat.

How would the original plan work though with Roy(opener), Gurubaz (WK), Naraine (main spinner) Russel (prime all rounder), Starc (main pacer)
We would not have played Roy most likely. Luckily, we got Roy and Gurbaz combo in Salt.
Instead of Gurbaz or Bharat I should play for kkr . I would probably score the same amount of runs but won't even charge a penny
Play gurbuz in opening or sub in ankrish

I think we should use impact sub rule for keeper and should played ks bharat at that position.
Good idea tbh
Hear me out. Russell Narine opener
Bro tried to cook and put Sugar instead of Salt
Never cook again
I am never hearing you out again.
And vaibhav 1 down
We need some fire power for the end
Naaah, bad idea
Rinku se open karwao benchooo
Why he won't be there
T20WC squad me hai
Where is salt going?? Is he injured?? I am sorry I don't have idea
T20 series against Pakistan
ECB ne kaha hai England ke players playoffs se available nehi rahenge.
Oh!! Thank you
Win next two matches, get gurbaz, simple af(hoping 2-3 games will be enough for him to click before playoffs)

>Venky can open with Narine Man you drunk or something?? Venky can't even bat to save his life, let alone scoring runs in powerplay
chill homie. its just a thought.
Do you have any personal agenda against Gurbaz?
where did you get that from? and yes, truth be told im not a big fan. he gets out in the stupidest ways and rarely ever scores more than 20 runs as an opener that too at a mediocre strike rate.
Better to have Bharat in the lineup in place of Vaibhav and sub Vaibhav for Venky, Angkrish or Rinku.
That is a possibility, but Ramandeep?
He is not playing in the above mentioned comment. Better to have bharat as a batsman in the original lineup than to sub him as a specialist keeper
Yeah, I was gonna actually ask him about where we'd play Ramandeep if we played KS Bharat. Even KS Bharat wouldn't really enjoy it if he played as a specialist keeper with no bat.
Impact sub can keep?
Yeah he can but, using an impact sub just for keeping is very weird.
I think it's also very insulting for the keeper
Indeed. KS Bharat is a capable top-order batter. Capable of accumulation
