Beautiful can play instead of Kuldeep due to left -handed batsmen in Kiwi team

New DelhiTalking about any format of cricket, often the captain does not tease the winning combination, especially when the team is playing in the same ground, pitch and situation. But this thing does not apply to Team India. Today’s Team India winning combination can also change and can surprise you.

Before the match against New Zealand, the Indian team preferred to rest, but if the practice session took place a day before, then one thing will be clear that there may be some shocking decisions on March 2, in which a decision is being considered almost fixed. In that practice session at the ICC Academy, a player, the head coach, the batting coach was doing a lot of work and the net planner was also pointing to something.

Washington beautiful in place of Kuldeep!

According to the pictures and sources of the practice session, the team is seriously considering feeding Vashington Sundar in place of Kuldeep Yadav. Now you must also be thinking that the team can also think of dropping 3 wickets against Pakistan. In fact, New Zealand has left -handed batsmen like Davon Conway, Rachin Rabindra, Tom Latham, Mitchell Santner for which Kuldeep will be very easy to play and all three use sweep shot with great footwork, due to which Kuldeep can be made out. But then the question arises that Akshar and Jadeja are also left -handed spinners. If sources are to be believed, their batting depths the team, so it is difficult to sit out.

The reason for being fed to Washington

Washington is a beautiful off -spin bowling which does not like the left -handed batsmen. The specialty of Sundar is that he can also bowl with a new ball and he has a great record against the left -handed batsmen. In the Test series against New Zealand, Sundar’s bowling also troubled Kiwi batsmen which will also be in the mind of New Zealand. Washington can go in favor of Sundar and that is his batting. If Sundar is included in the playing XI, then there will be such batsmen in the team up to 9 numbers who can also play as a batsman in any playing XI. Now it will be very interesting to see how the Indian team is in front of New Zealand with four arounders.
