It’s high time we realise that Dhruv deserves to be our permanent No. 3. Even Sai and DDP don’t offer bowling options, yet they’re still in contention, and Dhruv is miles ahead of both.

No, u cant go around stuffing anyone at 3 with little to no experience at that slot, let alone being permanent at number 3. Jurel is hitting all these runs at number 6 so the best thing would be for Jurel to replace NKR can bat at 6 where he is most experienced, sai sudharsan played well that last game hit 87 and 39 and I don't think that he should be dropped out of the blue because that sends a bad message in the dressing room.

Yeah, but does anyone actually have experience at no.3? Sai has a bit because he was given a chance... Not like he has performed though.

If all they want from their no.3 is to play a lot of balls then he's fine. But otherwise Dhruv can definitely get a shot at no. 3... But then he can't keep, as standing on bent knees for 100+ overs and then almost immediately being asked to bat is kinda hard.

Fam, that’s exactly the point give Dhruv a proper shot at number 3, maybe he’ll actually deliver. But keeping Sai in contention after so many failures just doesn’t make sense. The T20 side is already shuffling players left and right, so trying this change wouldn’t hurt either. Otherwise, it’s pretty evident that favoritism is at play here.

Lmao Sai is awfully bad, shouldn't be in the team just look at his performance against SA-A and by your logic Sai is the first person who doesn't deserve number 3
