India captain Mahendra Singh Dhonibelieves in giving his players a long rope and is averse to changes in the playing XI for their next World Cup match against Zimbabwe on Saturday, unless there is some ‘serious injury’ to any player.
If one goes by Dhoni’s philosophy on chopping and changing, it seems that Ambati Rayudu, Axar Patel, Stuart Binnyand Bhuvneshwar Kumar will find it difficult to break into the winning team. Bhuvneshwar, who played a match in Mohammed Shami’s absence, is a notch below the trio of Umesh Yadav, Shami and Mohit Sharma.
Dhoni made it clear that he is not in a mood to rest one of the regulars and try out one from the bench. “Bench strength will warm the bench,” he had put it bluntly after their match against West Indies in Perth.
In Hamilton, after the Ireland game, the Indian skipper explained in detail as to why he is not a big advocate of experimenting with the playing XI, even in an inconsequential game.
