Ishan Kishan has made a strong case for himself in the ODI format after a terrific performance against the mighty Pakistan cricket team. Ishan Kishan’s knock now has given headaches to the management as to whether to include KL Rahul for the summit clash on 10th September. KL Rahul can also keep wickets and can provide stability to the team.
Rohit Sharma led side should not make the mistake of taking Pakistan lightly. We witnessed how India’s top order was exposed against Pakistan in the group stage. All eyes would be on Virat Kohli who was undone by the sheer brilliance of the lethal speedster Shaheen Afridi.
Babar Azam will have to find a way to rotate the trio of Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf & Naseem Shah as the side can’t afford any other injury setbacks ahead of the ODI WC 2023. Faheem Ashraf can be the unexpected surprise package for the Indian cricket team who bowls impeccable line & length.
You won’t ask Shubman Gill to play at No.5- Aakash Chopra
Aakash Chopra was seen speaking on his YouTube channel and said that the sensation Shubman Gill can’t come to play at No.5 position. Aakash Chopra pointed out that Ishan Kishan won’t get to bat in the first 10 overs every time
“You won’t ask Shubman Gill to play at No. 5. In fact, you are slightly 50-50 in playing Ishan Kishan as well at No. 5 because he won’t get to bat in the first 10 overs every time and what will happen if spin comes straightaway at the start. What happens if the pitch is slightly slow? So those questions are still on your mind,” said Aakash Chopra.
“If you see from the Indian team’s perspective, there are five players who have hit centuries in all three formats, which includes Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina and KL Rahul. So KL Rahul is a player who has done well in all formats,” he added.
