Virat Kohli and KL Rahul are the other top-order batsmen who will have been rested for the series.Twenty-over cricket necessitates a great deal of freedom and clarity of thought at all times.\I’ve spent time with the players and witnessed their development in international cricket; that is their strength.\It is important to play with that freedom, but you also need to access conditions and fulfil the needs of the team, said Laxman.It’s time to have a revolution in Indian cricket, and we are in a good position to strategize against any player.
