India vs Australia 2017: 5 reasons why India should play 6 specialist batsmen in Bangalore

#3 No bowler would be under bowled

Jayant Yadav was not impressive in Pune

Virat Kohli has always preferred the 5-bowler theory as it gives him a fresh option whenever the other bowlers want a break. However, this can also mean that owing to an extra option one of the bowlers is always under bowled.

Also, spinner always needs a long spell to get into the groove and thus if there are 3 spinners in the squad the captain is bound to get restless and toss the ball to the third spinner if there is nothing happening and the match is drifting along. This does not allow any of the bowlers to get into the spell and work the batsman out.

Hence, when there is enough quality in R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja in the ranks it is better if India go in with a specialist batsman in Karun Nair.
