Gives an opportunity to other players in the squad
Ad

With Kohli not in the squad, an opening arises in the Number 3 position for India to test out newer players. Ambati Rayudu has played at that position in the past and so can stake a claim to bat there once again. KL Rahul is another candidate to play there.
Hopefully, whoever gets the opportunity makes the most of it.
