Tilak Varma won the match just now.
“Someone said Shreyas should be dropped. I said, ‘Don’t you watch the match. Someone wrote below that Tilak should be dropped. How will you drop Tilak Varma? Shreyas Iyer had two bad matches, and you are saying he should be dropped,” Chopra observed.
‘If Ishan Kishan is available, he has to walk into the team’
NEW DELHI: India have already taken an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match T20I series against New Zealand. Chopra believes Mayank should replace Arshdeep Singh in the playing XI for the match in Auckland on Friday, October 30. Because you give chances to youngsters in dead rubbers, play both Mayank and Prince.
Speaking in a video on his YouTube channel, ‘Aakash Chopra’, the former cricketer said India should use the remaining matches to give opportunities to young players. I am advocating for that one change,” he said. You may be the best player on the planet, but since we have to accommodate Vaibhav Suryavanshi and we want to keep all four together, I think you will have to take the support of rotation,” he said.
With the series decided, former India opener Aakash Chopra wants the team management to give another opportunity to Mayank Yadav in the fourth T20I. He also wants Prince Yadav to retain his place in the team. “There is scope for one change for sure. Ask Arshdeep Singh to rest. Mayank actually bowled well in the first match. So., why not play him? The former India player suggested that the team might need to rotate its four top-order batters to accommodate everyone. “If Ishan Kishan is available, he has to walk into the team. If he comes, who will go out? It is not an easy decision. With the trophy already secured, the team management could use the remaining games to assess its bench strength and manage the workload of its regular players.
The fourth T20I in Auckland will give India an opportunity to test their options before the final match of the series.
