‘Unusual ways’: Former Indian cricketers criticise India’s crew variety for 2d Check
KL Rahul’s non-inclusion for the 2d Check vs Australia has earned disapproval from a number of former Indian cricketers, whilst some have stated that the method of getting into with 5 bowlers for the event is “abnormal” on the MCG, the venue of the Check.
“Don’t get why KL Rahul is dropped for the boxing check! #BoxingDayTest,” tweeted former opener Krishnamachari Srikkanth.

Fromer Indian rapid bowler Dodda Ganesh stated it’s abnormal that India are going into the MCG event with 5 bowlers as an alternative of strengthening their batting order.
The crew suffered a big embarrassment as a result of batting failure. And as an alternative of strengthening the batting for the Boxing Day check, the assume tank has long gone with five bowlers with 2 spinners. Unusual ways, making an allowance for the prerequisites on the MCG #DoddaMathu #AUSvIND

Gautam Gambhir had previous stated that India’s process of rotating their wicketkeepers isn’t doing justice to both.
“This crew seems so unsettled as a result of no person is secured. Skilled game is all about safety. it’s been unfair on Rishabh Pant and Wriddhiman Saha each over an extended time period when they have got picked and selected gamers on prerequisites. You don’t do this with wicketkeepers. You do this with bowlers,” he stated.
India XI for the 2d Check: Mayank Agarwal, Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane (captain), Hanuma Vihari, Rishabh Pant (wicket-keeper), Jasprit Bumrah, Umesh Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, R. Ashwin and Mohammed Siraj.
India are trailing 1-Zero within the four-match collection after a eight-wicket loss within the pink-ball Check.
