Appreciated!
The problem with Kaur seems to be flash-in-the -pan performances. Post that 175, havent really heard much of her/ her antics tbh.
While you may be correct, the fact remains that she is one of the better players in the team and India cannot afford to give her a boot with an already weak lower order.

Dane van Niekerk has retired from internationals. Sad.
Dane van Niekerk set to retire from international cricket
Her decision comes a month and a half after her controversial non-selection in South Africa's squad for the T20 World Cup at home last month
It's interesting, the CSA could make the case that after the fitness rules were implemented and they reached the final of the World T20. I do remember thinking in the semi final that, Tazmin Brits not only batted well but took several catches, that Lizelle Lee probably would not have done (based on having seen her field terribly in the past). I still think they would've stood a better chance with DVN coming in to bat in the middle order and as another bowler.
They didn't say that it was something that occurred to me, particularly as fielding was often crucial - which you don't necessarily see anymore in the men's game. The difference between India and Australia could be put down to a catch Verma dropped that went for six and a stop Perry made on the boundary to save two runs. Likewise Brits took four catches in the semi final against England, the top four, if one of those is dropped it'd could've been the difference between England getting over the line. I remember them dropping Danni Wyatt multiple times in the ODI semi final and she went to on to get a hundred.
