TIK's biggest problem is he's letting himself go. He needs to get in shape so that he can attack the singles more aggressively. He's too dependent on boundaries lately. The other issue seems to be a newly found weaknesses against off-cutters on in-seamers pitched on leg or middle. The last two bowled outs have been carbon copy of each others. I'd not move TIK from the opening role. In fact SN with his great game against the spinners is our answer to the middle order.
