There is something wrong in the squad selection: Ravichandran Ashwin questions Nitish Kumar Reddy's place
Ravichandran Ashwin said in a video on his YouTube channel, “If we are not able to find a place for Nitish Kumar Reddy in a team that does not have Hardik Pandya, then there is something wrong in the squad selection, seriously. Why was he picked? Because of the fact that he can give what Hardik can give and can get better over a period of time. But, if we can't find a place for Nitish Kumar Reddy in this particular XI, then the squad selection must be properly reviewed.”

Meanwhile, India had made another baffling call to bat Ruturaj Gaikwad at the No. 4 spot despite Rishabh Pant and Tilak Varma being available options for the middle order. Gaikwad was mainly considered as a backup opener with Shubman Gill out.
Ashwin signed off by saying, “You gave an opportunity to Ruturaj, so it doesn't make sense to go to Tilak Varma right now. So, give him a longer run and then decide what your right combination is.”
