#2 Draft Manish Pandey into the middle order

Manish Pandey might not have set the international stage on fire as yet, but those who have seen him perform in the IPL over the last decade know he is a special talent. He even has a one-day hundred against Australia to his name. Having him in the T20 squad and not playing him is a complete waste of his talent. However, the biggest question is where he fits into the side.
Pandey could replace Krunal Pandya, who delivered just one over for seven runs in Mohali. India have a plethora of options in the bowling department with the likes of Deepak Chahar, Navdeep Saini, Washington Sundar, Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik Pandya in their ranks.
As a result, Pandey can replace Krunal Pandya in the lineup and can be used as a floater in the middle order depending on the situation of the match.
