Sunil Gavaskar ne Rohit Sharma aur Gautam Gambhir ke Washington Sundar ko Kuldeep Yadav par tarjeeh dene ke faisle ko kaafi criticize kiya hai.
Legendary India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar ne captain Rohit Sharma aur head coach Gautam Gambhir ke faisle ko kaafi criticize kiya, jab unhone Washington Sundar ko New Zealand ke khilaaf Pune mein MCA Stadium par hone wale doosre Test ke liye playing XI mein shamil kiya. Sundar jo pehle se India ki 15-member squad mein shaamil nahi the, unhe tab team mein add kiya gaya jab India pehla Test Bengaluru mein 8 wickets se haar gaya tha. Head coach Gautam Gambhir ne bataya ki yeh decision unhone New Zealand ke left-handers ke against zyada options dene ke liye liya, kyunki visitors ke top 4 mein se 3 left-handers hain.
Sundar ko seedha Kuldeep Yadav ke jagah playing XI mein shamil kiya gaya, jo ek left-arm wrist spinner hain. Gambhir ne kaha, “Humein laga ki unke playing XI mein 4-5 left-handers hain. Toh agar humein ek bowler mil jaye jo ball ko left-handers se door le ja sake, toh wo humare liye useful hoga. Lekin humne apni playing XI ka final faisla abhi nahi kiya hai. Hum aise bowler ko khilana chahte hain jo humein zyada control de sake, aur Washington Sundar humare liye ek accha option hai,” head coach Gambhir ne kaha.

Gavaskar ne left-handers ke theory ke saath Sundar ko lane wale faisle se sahmat nahi dikhaye. Poorv India captain ne kaha ki asal mein Sundar ka selection unki bowling ke liye nahi, balki unki batting ke liye kiya gaya hai. Gavaskar ka maanna hai ki India apne lower-order ko lekar chintit tha, isliye Sundar ko team mein shamil kiya gaya.
Gavaskar ne apni commentary ke dauran Day 1 par kaha, “Washington Sundar ka selection mujhe batata hai ki Indian team apni batting ko lekar chintit thi. Uska selection sirf uski off-spin ke liye nahi, balki isliye bhi kiya gaya hai kyunki woh lower order mein zyada runs bana sakta hai. Haan, main maanta hoon ki New Zealand ke batting line-up mein left-handers ko lekar kaafi baat hui hai, lekin agar mujhe aisa karna hota, toh main Kuldeep Yadav ko chunta, jo ball ko left-handers se door ghumane mein capable hai. Woh bhi batting mein kaafi useful hai, haan Sundar ke jitna heavy-scoring nahi hai.”
Sundar, jisne apne last Ranji Trophy match mein Tamil Nadu ke liye ek shatak banaya tha, ne 3 saal baad Indian Test XI mein wapas aaya. Usne England ke khilaf 2021 mein Ahmedabad mein apna aakhri match khela tha, jahan usne 96* runs banaye the.
Murali Kartik ne Washington ko Kuldeep aur Axar ke upar chune par apna surprise zahir kiya
Former India left-arm spinner Murali Kartik, jo commentary box mein the jab Gavaskar ne yeh topic uthaya, unhone kaha ki unhe hairani hui ki India ne Kuldeep aur Axar ke bajaye Washington ko select kiya.
“Yeah, Kuldeep Yadav ke change par thoda surprised hoon. Aur Axar Patel bhi hain, jinhone Australia mein accha khela tha, lekin unhe ball se zyada mauka nahi mila. Kuldeep Yadav ke paas kaafi variety thi dene ke liye. Unke paas pehle Test mein zyada runs nahi the khelne ke liye, jo ek spinner ke liye zaroori hota hai Test cricket mein,” Murali Kartik ne kaha.
India ke side mein do aur changes bhi kiye gaye, jo pehla Test haar gayi thi. Shubman Gill aur Akash Deep ne KL Rahul aur Mohammed Siraj ki jagah li.
