India head coach Gautam Gambhir publicly criticized Kris Srikkanth for his position on Harshit Rana, but he refused to change it.
After being publicly chastised by India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir for his harsh criticism of cricketer Harshit Rana, the 1983 World Cup champion for his country, Kris Srikkanth declined to include the seamer in his India XI for the opening One-Day International match against Australia. As has been somewhat of a trend under Gambhir, Srikkanth predicted that India would select eight batting options in the starting lineup. Srikkanth selected Nitish Kumar Reddy for the team even though he hasn’t been playing well lately.
They are using eight batters, if you follow the trend. Additionally, the number eight ought to be able to bat. Washington Sundar ought to be your first pick if you plan to bat until eight. I will continue to play Siraj and Prasidh Krishna at ten and eleven, Kuldeep at nine, and Sundar at eight. In a video posted to his YouTube channel, Srikkanth declared, “I will still use three spinners and use Nitish as the third seamer.
In the unlikely event that it is a juicy wicket, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood are available; their pace attack is more seasoned. We will be relying on Siraj and Prasidh because Bumrah will be greatly missed.
Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill (C), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer (VC), KL Rahul (WK), Axar Patel, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, and Prasidh Krishna are the members of Kris Srikkanth’s India XI for the first One-Day International match against Australia.
Gautam Gambhir Was Slammed Srikkanth Kris
“Shameful,” a furious India head coach Gautam Gambhir said at a press conference in response to former selectors chairman Srikkanth’s claim that pacer Harshit Rana was chosen for the ODI tour of Australia because he was a “constant yes-man” to him.
Following India’s 2-0 victory over the West Indies in the Test series, Gambhir was addressing the media.
“Look, it’s really embarrassing. Gambhir responded to a PTI question following the conclusion of the second Test, which India won by seven wickets, by saying, “If you are criticizing 23-year-olds to run your YouTube channel, that is unfair.”
The 23-year-old is playing for the national team on “merit,” according to Gambhir, who is known for speaking plainly.
“His father is not an NRI, a former cricket player, or the chairperson of the selectors. He has and will continue to play cricket on his own merits. “It is unfair to target individuals,” a furious Indian head coach declared.
