4th Test: Shastri Asks Team India 'What Was The Need For Two Spinners If You Don't Trust Them?’
Boxing Day Test: Former India head coach Ravi Shastri has questioned the Rohit Sharma-led side over playing two spinners in Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar if they weren’t to be trusted much with bowling duties in the ongoing Boxing Day Test against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
In India bowling out Australia for 474, as Steve Smith top-scored with 140, left-arm spin all-rounder Jadeja picked 3-78 in 23 overs while off-spin all-rounder Sundar, brought in for Shubman Gill in the playing eleven, bowled only 15 overs and took 1-49. Both Jadeja and Sundar got to bowl only after 40 overs were done on day one’s play.
“I thought the bowling was pretty ordinary. They ran out of ideas, India. Spin wasn’t used as much as it should have. It took a gap of 40 overs before Jadeja was introduced into the attack.
