IND vs NZ: Aakash Chopra raised questions on this decision of Rohit Sharma, said- “There was no life left in the match, then bowling to him…”
There is no doubt that runs were less but we did not make Ashwin bowl at all – Aakash Chopra Rohit Sharma, Aakash Chopra, R Ashwin (Photo Source: X/Getty Images) India had to face defeat by 8 wickets in the first test match against New Zealand. The Kiwi team has created history by winning the Test match on Indian soil after 36 years. Team India was all out for 46 runs in the first innings of the match. New Zealand had put 402 runs on the board in the first innings. India made a brilliant comeback in the second innings and scored 462 runs on the basis of brilliant innings by Sarfaraz Khan (150), Rishabh Pant (99) and Virat Kohli (70). New Zealand had a target of 107 runs to win, which they achieved easily. Jasprit Bumrah took only two wickets for India in the second innings. He bowled a long spell along with Siraj. After this, Ashwin was expected to come on the attack, but captain Rohit Sharma backed Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav. Cricket commentator Aakash Chopra is not happy with this decision of Rohit Sharma. Didn’t understand it at all – Aakash Chopra Ravichandran Ashwin proved to be very expensive in the first innings against New Zealand, due to which perhaps captain Rohit Sharma showed more confidence in Kuldeep and Jadeja. However, Aakash Chopra believes that this was a wrong decision, as Ashwin is the most successful bowler of the team and his record against left-handed batsmen is excellent. While talking on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, There is no doubt that runs were less but we did not make Ashwin bowl at all. I am not saying that if Ashwin had bowled, we would have won the match but we did not make him bowl. It was amazing and how. Why was Ashwin not made to bowl? I don’t have any answer to that because if you look at his numbers, he is the best bowler in your team. No one has taken more wickets than him in Test matches. Left-handed batsmen were playing but still you did not make them bowl. It didn’t make any sense at all. There were 15 or 20 runs left and you called him to bowl – Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra further said that by the time Rohit Sharma handed the ball to Ashwin, the match was out of India’s hands. He said, The match was over. There was no life left in the match. There were 15 or 20 runs left and you called him to bowl. It would have been better if you had not made him bowl at all. This question should have been asked in the press conference after the match – ‘Rohit Bhai, what did you do?’. I thought India had definitely missed a trick and it was beyond me why they were not made to bowl.

IND vs NZ (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former India cricketer Dinesh Karthik has backed Indian spinners Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja to make a comeback in the second Test against New Zealand in Pune after a disappointing performance in the first Test in Bengaluru. In the first test, India could not defend the target of 107 runs and in the end they had to face defeat by 8 wickets. In the Bengaluru Test, R Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja together took seven wickets, but during this period the economy rate of all three was the biggest cause of concern. In the first innings, Ashwin and Jadeja gave runs at an economy rate between 5-6, while in the second innings, Kuldeep Yadav gave runs at an economy run rate of 8.7. Dinesh Karthik gave a big statement regarding the spinners of Team India. Seeing the brutality with which Kiwi batsmen thrashed Team India’s spin attack in Bengaluru, the tension of Team India’s fans seems to be increasing. Whereas former Indian wicketkeeper batsman Dinesh Karthik has given some surprising statements regarding Indian spinners. After Team India’s defeat against New Zealand in Bengaluru, former cricketer Dinesh Karthik said on Cricbuzz, ‘I will not think too much about the Indian spinners, it was not a good Test match for them as a unit. Be it Kuldeep Yadav, R Ashwin or Ravindra Jadeja. It was good because you want such players to get pinched, because whenever they come back, they come back very strongly. I think the conditions in Pune will be better for these three and you will see Ashwin and Jadeja performing well in Pune. Let us tell you that the second match of the Test series between India and New Zealand will be played in Pune from 24th October.
