“This seems to be a nervous decision by the Indian team” – Sunil Gavaskar angry at Rohit’s captaincy

Team India has made three changes in the playing XI for the Pune Test match against New Zealand.

The second test match of the series is being played at Pune MCA Stadium. Three changes have been made in the playing 11 for this match. Head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Rohit Sharma have entered the second test with a new team combination. The problems of the Indian team have increased after losing the first test of the three-match series against New Zealand. Keeping this in mind, Rohit has given a chance to Akash Deep, Shubman Gill and Washington Sundar in the playing 11 of the Pune Test match, while Mohammad Siraj, KL Rahul and Kuldeep Yadav have been kept on the bench. Former cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has also raised a valid question regarding this. When Shubman Gill returned to the playing XI fit, KL Rahul was dropped to make his place in the team. While Kuldeep Yadav, who did not do anything special in Bengaluru, Washington Sundar was brought in his place in the team, while Mohammad Siraj also did not look in that rhythm in Bengaluru and Akashdeep has been entered in his place in the playing XI. Sunil Gavaskar gave a big statement regarding the changes in Team India Regarding this change, former legend Sunil Gavaskar believes that for the second Test against New Zealand, India might have nervously included Washington Sundar in place of Kuldeep Yadav in the playing eleven. Gavaskar told the match broadcasters after the toss on Thursday, “It seems to be a nervous decision by the Indian team. “You don’t often make three changes in a team.” Gavaskar said, “Unless there is an injury concern, I don’t see many teams making three changes. The inclusion of Washington Sundar shows that they are worried about their batting. More than bowling, they need his batting lower down the order.” He said, ‘Yes, there is a lot of discussion about left-handed batsmen in New Zealand’s batting unit, but I would choose Kuldeep Yadav because his ball moves outside off for left-handed batsmen.

For this, both the teams are preparing vigorously. After losing the first match of the series, now Team India can enter this match with a new strategy. In such a situation, it is quite possible that there may be some changes in the playing XI of Team India in the next match. However, looking at the way things are unfolding, it is difficult to guess how many changes Team India will make for this match. Let us tell you that after Team India’s defeat in the first Test in Bengaluru, the selection committee of BCCI suddenly included Washington Sundar in the squad of the Indian team. IND vs NZ: Washington Sundar may get a chance in the third test match Although the team had already been announced for three matches, many people did not understand why this change was made. It is believed that New Zealand has many left-handed batsmen, so Sundar can prove to be very effective against them. Along with bowling, he also bats well. In such a situation, it would not be a big deal if Sundar gets a chance in the playing eleven in place of Kuldeep Yadav. Talking about the second change, Shubman Gill could not play the first match of the series. He was injured at that time. Now it is being told that he is completely fit. If he comes in the playing XI then whose place will he come in? Sarfaraz Khan had played a brilliant inning of 150 runs, but still he may have to sit out again. In such a situation, KL Rahul can be seen playing the next match. Captain Rohit Sharma has already said that he wants to give some more time to Rahul. Although Sarfaraz Khan had batted brilliantly in the last match, so in such a situation KL Rahul may also have to sit out. Now it will be interesting to see what changes they bring to their team for the other test matches.
