Jason Roy at base price is an absolute steal, and although Lockie Ferguson was an expensive purchase, he has shown he can rattle batting orders with his pace but his fitness still remains a cause for concern. The big question for Titans is whether Vijay Shankar and the uncapped Abhinav Manohar can work with the top order and create a platform for Hardik.
The inexperience in batting is glaringly obvious. To compensate for that they could push Matthew Wade higher up the order, but that would mean they could also find themselves in deep trouble if early wickets fall and one less overseas spot to fill in the team of Wade plays. If Hardik can't bowl and the back has been a constant issue with him, the fifth bowler's quota could also be a potential sore spot.
