Before the Manchester Test between India and England, veteran all -rounder Ravichandran Ashwin has given important advice to Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Shubman Gill. Let me tell you, the fourth Test match between India and England will be played in Manchester, which is starting from 23 July. So far, England is ahead 2–1 in this Test series. If Team India has to stay in the 5 match Test series, then they need to win the Manchester Test. According to Ashwin, in the fourth Test match, Washington Sundar should be sent to bat at number three instead of Karun Nair.
Ravichandran Ashwin made a big statement
Ravichandran Ashwin said on his YouTube channel, ‘Many people believe that Kuldeep should play. If you trust Washington Sundar’s batting, then you send them to number three and let Kuldeep play. You have an option. Do you want to replace Sai Sudarshan or Washington Sundar in place of Karun Nair? If Nitish Kumar is not ready, then we can give Shardul Thakur a place in the team. I would like to go with Sundar. Jadeja is also in the team and instead of Shardul Thakur, include Sai Sudarshan or Dhruv Jurail in the playing XI.
Talking about Karun Nair, he has performed very poorly in this Test series. He has got a chance in all three Tests but he has failed to make a big score. He has scored 131 runs in three matches at an average of 21.83 and his best score is 40 runs. All the fans expected a big score from Nair but disappointed everyone. Talking about Sundar, he batted very well in Lord’s first innings and in Birmingham Test.
England is ahead in Test series
Team India lags 2–1 in this Test series. In the third Test match played at Lord’s, Team India needed 193 runs to win, but it was piled up for 170 runs, due to which England won. Now all the fans will be eyeing the fourth Test. It is very important to play their role well for all the players.
