New Delhi: Team India is being heavily criticized after a crushing defeat at the hands of New Zealand in the final of the World Test Championship (WTC). After this defeat, two players may be dropped from the playing XI of the Indian Test team. Hinting at the change in Team India, Virat Kohli said, “We have to plan afresh and understand what is effective for the team and how we can play fearlessly. We have to bring in the right people who come in with the right mindset to perform well. Let us tell you that India has to play a five-match Test series against England from August 4. In such a situation, two players do not fit in the playing XI of Team India.
Cheteshwar PujaraCheteshwar Pujara scored 8 runs in the first innings and 13 runs in the second innings of the final of the World Test Championship (WTC). After this performance of Pujara, the countdown to his career has started. Instead of being defensive, one needs to score runs to dominate the opposition, but Pujara's batsman did not see any strength. The top order has been India's strength, which continues to flop in Test matches.Now questions are also being raised about Pujara's place at number three. Cheteshwar Pujara had last scored a century two years ago in the last tour of Australia in 2018. Pujara then played an innings of 193 runs in Sydney itself. Since this innings, he has not scored a single century, which is a matter of concern for Team India. KL Rahul can be a better option in place of Pujara at number three.
Shubman GillShubman Gill scored 28 runs in the first innings and 8 runs in the second innings of the World Test Championship (WTC) final. Opening with Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill has failed to give a good start to Team India. After the early dismissals of the opening batsmen, all the pressure falls on the middle order. The middle order is also getting completely devastated with the dismissals of Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane.After Shubman Gill's poor batting performance, questions are being raised about his place in the Test team. Shubman Gill has scored 414 runs in 8 matches in his Test career so far. His average during this period has been 31.84. Shubman Gill's form is a matter of concern for Team India. Mayank Agarwal can be a better option in place of Shubman Gill in the opening.
