Experts Ashish Nehra and Simon Katich discussed what to expect in Raipur on Friday night during a discussion on JioCinema’s preview program for India vs. Australia (4th T20I). Take-outs: Regarding Suryakumar Yadav’s lessons following the Guwahati defeat Simon Katich: “As captain, he’s been very, very good throughout the series.” He has also been hitting the ball really nicely.
It seems like the only option left to him would be to use the sixth bowler. It remains to be seen if he can insert a sixth bowler to add some unpredictability later in the innings, as he has been depending on five bowlers. Both Avesh Khan and (Ravi) Bishnoi made an impression on Guwahati. Throughout, Axar (Patel) has performed admirably. I suppose he was hoping for more from Prasidh Krishna and Arshdeep Singh.
Regarding the shape of Prasidh Krishna being an issue for India
“You are talking about a guy who hasn’t played much cricket,” said Ashish Nehra. Nonetheless, when it comes to someone like Prasidh Krishna, skill is in short supply. He is undoubtedly one of India’s rising stars, and let’s hope that he continues to improve from this point on. He’s got the ability to bowl a mean yorker. I understand that bowling on a flat pitch and wet ground might be challenging, but in these kinds of conditions, you absolutely back your yorker.
Regarding if India ought to spend more money on Ruturaj Gaikwad as an opener
“I believe India is already doing that,” said Ashish Nehra. There are people around him who are aware of his playing style. When discussing the outstanding player, Yashasvi Jaiswal, However, his style of play differs greatly from Gaikwad’s. Solidity is necessary, even in the T20 format, and Ruturaj Gaikwad provides it. He is a player in all three formats. He hits the cricket ball cleanly. It is simply astounding how elegant Ruturaj is.”
Regarding Shreyas Iyer rejoining the squad as vice captain
Ashish Nehra: “Everything relies on the goals of the think tank. If he and Deepak Chahar are able to participate in this match, that will be interesting to watch.”
