'Fire and Ice" replaced by 'Fire and Fire': Harsha Bhogle

"Really like the team that has been picked. Big call on leaving out Gill and that tells me that 'Fire & Ice' has been replaced by 'Fire & Fire'. The options Ishan Kishan gives are too tempting to ignore, especially given his form. Sadly, that means Jitesh had to go and you feel for him, but Rinku is an excellent player. It makes this team left-heavy but that is a by-product of an otherwise brave call. Lots more explained in the vlog I have just recorded and which will be up later today," Bhogle said on X.
