Former Australian captain raised questions on Indian bowling attack: Demands to give Arshdeep a chance in second Test.

Delhi: In the first match of the five matches played in Leeds, India has not only disappointed, but has also raised many big questions. 8 Easy catch was definitely in the discussion, but according to former Australian captain and former India coach Greg Chapel, this was not the real reason for the defeat.

In his column in ESPNcricinfo, Greg Chappell wrote, “Fielding in the headingle was definitely disappointing, but the main reason for India’s defeat was not the same. Most of India’s problems were made by itself.”

According to Chappell, Mohammad Siraj, Shardul Thakur and the famous Krishna are the same bowlers who bowl fast with the right hand. This did not require the England batsmen to adjust much.

He wrote, “Except for Bumrah, there is no diversity among India’s fast bowlers. That is why when the bowling changes, the wickets fall, because the batsmen have to mold themselves according to the new angle and speed. This change in India’s attack was missing.”

Demand to bring Arshdeep and Kuldeep into the team

Chappell has advocated major changes in the team before the next Test begins. He has advised to include left -arm fast bowler Arshdeep Singh and Chinaman spinner Kuldeep Yadav in the playing XI.

He said, “If Bumrah does not play, Arshdeep should be brought into the team, and Kuldeep should be made a part of the attack. Kuldeep, in my eyes, is probably the best wrist spinner after Shane Warne.”

In the Headingley, where Bumrah took 5 wickets for 140 runs, Thakur and Krishna together spent 309 runs and took only 7 wickets, which could not be called a decisive performance in any way.

The second Test will start from July 2, and it will have to be seen whether Team India executes the advice of Chapel or not.
