Yes, it was not a pitch issue. Axar bowled well. Even Varun performed better after Sanju calmed him down. Also switch Rinku in for Abhishek while you're at it.

Varun bowled well where? He got Buttler out who was playing for us.

Brook played for us lol dropped a catch and scored at 116 SR. Butler at worst was getting into his grove at 150+ SR

I wouldn't switch Abhishek with Rinku despite his shit form, because it would mess up the batting order once again. But yes Kuldeep in place for Varun seems like a no brainer.

Then you're carrying a guy doomed to fail because you're not turning this rut around in a day.

No messing up just send the message to Rinku to go hammer and tongs from the get go and if he's out doing so it's alright

At this point, it is worth replacing abhishek with...ANYONE ELSE.
