Why would India want someone who can't get it done in Lickit Franchise? They already have Rohit and Pant who can perform duties of dead weight and dropping catches

Considering the current form.of Rinku I say yes. Pooran is a good fielder too. He will make the side better.

Question posed only to rile up and encourage insularity. Pooran is the best T20 batsman presently. So he automatically walks into any team. End of discussion.
