In addition to supporting Prasidh Krishna for a position in the playing XI for the second test, Aakash Chopra, host of JioCinema’s daily sports show “#AAKASHVANI,” Aakash Chopra offered his thoughts on how India might recover ahead of team India’s second test against South Africa. Take a peek:
Regarding the capacity of Team India to recover
Rebounding can only be achieved by starting the batting game well and having a bowling backup. In terms of batting, the South African side used up more overs in one innings of the first test than we did in the two innings put together. This proves beyond a doubt that we batted poorly. Additionally, we need discipline in the bowling department because Prasidh Krishna and Shardul Thakur gave up a lot of runs. The crew is now experiencing some low morale, but they know how to get back up.
Prasidh Krishna’s inclusion in the second Test squad
I think Prasidh Krishna ought to keep playing. It’s being discussed that Avesh Khan or Mukesh Kumar could play. In my opinion, you should also drop Avesh Khan if he has a bad debut performance in this match. Given the conditions, Krishna is the ideal bowler; therefore, he made his debut in the previous game. Thus, I would like him to go on. If we can, we should use four fast bowlers or Shardul Thakur as well. I believe it would be a mistake if we let go of Krishna right now.
When the Indian XI for the Cape Town Test was revealed, it was evident that Ravi Ashwin and Shardul Thakur had lost their spots in the team, but Prasidh Krishna’s spot was still there.
India (Playing XI):
Rohit Sharma (c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (w), Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, and Mukesh Kumar
