Even if we do replace Mushy with Dhiman, where are we going to play the latter? At #8? And expect him to provide results with the bat when we're down 6 or 7 wickets and the game's literally over? Even the best cannot survive long with tail enders all around them.
When someone is recklessly out of form he needs a break. Its good for Mushy if he takes a break and come back strongly. He is young and he can surely come back. I dont know whether Dhiman or Pilot will be the right person, but they cant be any worse at the moment. And we just cant depend on one single WK, we need a pool of good keepers and there is no harm in giving others a chance when the best keeper is terribly out of form for a very long period. If they fail we have nothing to loose but if they succeed we have everything to gain.Period.
