“Got Confused”: Ex-India Stars’ Take On ‘Spoilt For Choice’ Rohit Sharma’s Tactics In Ranchi Test | Cricket News

Former India cricketers RP Singh and Aakash Chopra opened up on captain Rohit Sharma’s ways throughout Day 1 of the continuing 4th Test towards England in Ranchi. RP Singh and Chopra felt that Rohit underbowled left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav on the opening day. Kuldeep bowled simply 10 overs on Day 1, and needed to wait till the forty second over to get his likelihood. Despite failing to bag a wicket, Kuldeep was India’s second most economical bowler on the JSCA Stadium after Ravindra Jadeja.

While RP Singh and Chopra weren’t essential of Rohit for his ways, they felt that the Indian skipper relied an excessive amount of on veteran spinner Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin.

“The bowlers put in a lot of effort. Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, and both the fast bowlers put in a lot of effort. Siraj bowled better in his second spell than his first. The only thing I have a doubt about is that you didn’t use Kuldeep Yadav as much as you should have,” RP Singh stated on Jio Cinema.

“Jadeja and Ashwin were over bowled and Kuldeep couldn’t bowl that much because of that, and this happens as well. When you have three spinners, and all three are wicket-takers, one of the bowlers is underbowled many times and that happened with Kuldeep here,” he added.

Chopra defined that Rohit had too many choices within the bowling division, evaluating his state of affairs like going to a buffet.

“It’s right, you are spoilt for choices when you have five bowlers. You get confused at times when you go to a buffet. Kuldeep Yadav was 100% introduced late. He could have been bowled a little earlier,” Chopra defined.

Meanwhile, debutant pacer Akash Deep was the decide of the bowlers for India on Day 1.

He struck thrice within the first session to finish the day with figures of three/70.

The Bengal pacer obtained Ben Duckett as his first wicket earlier than trapping Pope leg earlier than wicket two balls later.

Two overs later, he bowled Zak Crawley, who stated it was “tough” going through the “skiddy bowler”.

England reached 302/7 at stumps with Joe Root (106) and Ollie Robinson (31) unbeaten.
