5 reasons why India should continue to experiment in the ODI series against Australia

#3 Squad rotation will allow resting players

Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan could be rested much more

Experimentation will obviously involve squad rotation and trying out the bench strength to ascertain the best possible permutations and combinations. This will also involve resting players on a rotational basis every match to give opportunities to others.

This will have an added advantage as it will give all the players some much deserved rest and help them stay fresh. India have a core unit comprising the likes of Kohli and Dhawan who play across all three formats now.

With the amount of cricket being played now, rotation and resting will be vital to keep all the important players fresh. With the tour to South Africa coming up, a long-term injury to an important player is what the team can ill-afford at the moment.
