Bumrah, Bhuvi and....?

Here is the second installment in my new series, Cricket Debates. Check out me and @_batballbanter.arena9_ debating on " Who should partner Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah in India's XI for the T20 WC?

Potentially answering the question: How to win the toughest T20 league in the world? , this piece presents what sort of things have actually worked for the teams.

Ambati Rayudu, Shane Watson, Faf du Plessis, Ruturaj Gaikwad and to an extent Suresh Raina have contributed heavily with the bat in CSK's title-winning runs. Though many were skeptical of Rayudu 's inclusion in the CSK squad, MS Dhoni was confident in his ability to hit both pace and spin as he had a wonderful I...
