ENG VS IND: Navjot Singh Sidhu suggested Team India’s playing 11 for the fourth Test

Delhi: Former India cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu has advised a change in Team India’s playing XI for the fourth Test match against England. He directly said that Shardul Thakur should not be in the team. He said this when Nitish Reddy has been out of the series due to injury.

Demand to give Sai Sudarshan a chance again

Sidhu has said to give a chance to Tamil Nadu’s young batsman Sai Sudarshan once again. However, his debut was not good in the headingley test, where he scored 0 and 20 runs. Despite this, Sidhu feels that there is mental preparation and balance to play the match inside Sai.

India’s growing injury problem

India has troubled India a lot before the fourth Test. Apart from Nitish Reddy’s knee injury, fast bowlers Akash Deep and Arshdeep Singh will also not be able to play in this match. In such a situation, the options with team management are limited.

Suggestion to give a chance to Nair or Jurael

Sidhu said that if Shardul is excluded, Karun Nair or Dhruv Jurael can get a chance in the middle order. They believe that the team needs players who can perform continuously, even if they are unable to score big. He said, “If you feed Karun Nair, it is fine, because he has scored some 30 runs and should get another chance.”

Mental preparation seen in Sai Sudarshan

Sidhu said the special thing about Sai Sudarshan that he was seen mentally ready. He was seen imagining batting under the cover at the Old Trafford ground in Manchester, which suggests that he is fully prepared for his next opportunity.

Trying to return to the series

India is currently 1-2 behind in the five-match series. The fourth Test will begin on Wednesday, July 23 at the Old Trafford ground in Manchester. Team India would like to win the series by winning this match, so that the trophy can be captured with a win in the last Test.
