The Calls for Retention Day

Our read, not team news. These are the questions the 2026 numbers and the trades leave open.

  • Pant and Rahul both keep wicket. Who takes the gloves?
  • Losing Kuldeep leaves Axar Patel (11 wickets) as the lead spinner. Is Ansari ready?
  • Do they spend big on a second batter after a season when only Rahul passed 300?
