Kotak was speaking ahead of India\u2019s second T20I against West Indies, with the team continuing to manage the workload of its senior players while also giving opportunities to emerging talent.<\/p>\n

India currently lead the series 1-0, thanks to Shreyas Iyer\u2019s stunning maiden T20I century<\/a> in the series opener.<\/p>\n

Kotak said that while such rotation can occasionally come at the cost of results, India have enough depth to ensure that their performances do not suffer significantly.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome games, we are not playing Bumrah, giving him rest. Some games, some other senior players also not playing.<\/p>\n

“So, obviously, any team in the world will require bench strength and somewhere and somewhere you have to give them chances.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, sometimes results do suffer, but normally I think we have enough strong bench strength that our results also don’t suffer as much.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kotak was speaking ahead of India\u2019s second T20I against West Indies, with the team continuing to manage the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":796573,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,67813,67811,67817,67827,67823,67826,67824,16326,67825,67822,67828,67834,67833,67814,6518,67832,67816,67815,67810,67820,67821,67830,101,67829,67831,67819,67812,67818,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-796572","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-cricket-breaking-news","tag-cricket-headlines-today","tag-cricket-live-score","tag-cricket-match-highlights-today","tag-cricket-match-live-streaming-score","tag-cricket-match-result-today","tag-cricket-match-today-live","tag-cricket-news","tag-cricket-results-today","tag-cricket-scorecard-live","tag-cricket-series-updates","tag-cricket-world-cup-live-score","tag-cricket-world-cup-news","tag-cricket-world-news","tag-icc","tag-icc-cricket-updates","tag-international-cricket-live-score","tag-international-cricket-news","tag-latest-cricket-news","tag-latest-cricket-scores","tag-live-cricket-match-update","tag-odi-cricket-live-score","tag-sports","tag-t20-cricket-live-score","tag-test-cricket-live-score","tag-today-cricket-live-score","tag-today-cricket-news-update","tag-todays-cricket-match-score","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/796572","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=796572"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/796572\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/796573"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=796572"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=796572"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=796572"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
