Basil Ali gave a big statement on India’s defeat Let us tell you that after the second ODI match between Sri Lanka and India in Colombo, Basit Ali said through a recent video uploaded on his YouTube channel – I think after Pakistan, India has also forgotten how to bat against spinners. Maybe because their focus was more on T20. I am sad to see Shivam Dubey getting out. He could not even read it from his hand. In the first match, Washington Sundar was also out in the same manner. Basit further said- Keep Shivam Dubey only for T20, do not select him for ODI cricket. If he is selected, then first play him in 50 over matches in domestic cricket. India’s ODI team cannot be complete without Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja.
