Champions Trophy: Shreyas Iyer's shocking claim exposes India's think-tank problem | Sledging Room, S2 Ep 76
Why fix something that isn't broken? India seem to be overcomplicating their combination in the ODI series against England, which is a worrying sign ahead of the Champions Trophy. There appears to be a real problem of plenty for coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Rohit Sharma.
Why on earth did they leave out Shreyas Iyer for the series opener in Nagpur? An injury to Virat Kohli meant Shreyas got an opportunity after a late phone call from the skipper. The star batter revealed he was not in the XI as late as the eve of the match. India had initially decided to play both Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill in the XI at the expense of Shreyas.
However, after Shreyas let his bat do the talking in the first ODI, India dropped Yashasvi for the second match.
Similarly, India picked four spinners in their squad for the Champions Trophy and later added Varun Chakravarthy. Why are we mixing formats again? Why not Kuldeep Yadav instead of Varun?
The team combination issue isn't limited to India. Injuries have forced the likes of Pakistan and Australia to rethink their line-ups.
With just over a week to go before the Champions Trophy, things are starting to heat up.
In the latest episode of the Sledging Room podcast, we discuss the selection muddle and the build-up to the Champions Trophy.
