India's recent Asia Cup Super Four match against Bangladesh was marked by controversial decisions by team management, notably Gautam Gambhir's experiment of promoting Shivam Dube to number 3. Dube, typically a lower-middle order finisher, was promoted to face more deliveries and anchor the innings, but he scored only 2 runs before being dismissed. This move, which did not even preserve a left-right batting combination, drew criticism from former cricketer and commentator Sanjay Manjrekar, who questioned the logic behind Dube's promotion given the team's strong batting capabilities. The decision was seen as a blunder that contributed to India's failure to reach 170 runs, with the team collapsing in the middle overs and ending on 168/6. Other questionable promotions included Axar Patel, who scored just 10 off 15 balls, and Sanju Samson, who was demoted in the batting order. The team's strategic blunders, including messing around with the batting order, were heavily criticized, with experts suggesting that sticking to the usual top-order batters might have yielded better results. Despite the loss, India remains a favorite to reach the final, but the incident has sparked debate over team management decisions and tactical experimentation.
