India should face Nepal with their best lineup possible: Aakash Chopra

Aakash Chopra, the host of JioCinema’s daily sports program “#AAKASHVANI,” offered his opinion on India’s game plan going into their match versus Nepal. In order to ensure that Shardul Thakur and Hardik Pandya get to bowl at least ten overs each, India should first try to win the toss and decide to bowl. They ought to try to finish their bowling, as they failed to do it in the previous game. Even though the game could be postponed due to rain, even though the chase might be challenging, it’s fine.

India should rise to the occasion and begin batting second. Additionally, I would advise the club to play the strongest lineup and refrain from making any adjustments to the lineup; try to stick as closely as you can to the starting eleven. Naturally, some people would prefer that Shreyas Iyer get more opportunities to bat, but even Virat Kohli must bat at No. 3 because neither he nor Rohit Sharma had played regular cricket in the previous month. Additionally, Shubman Gill’s recent form has been erratic. These kinds of games, in my opinion, prepare you for the big test rather than really put you to the test.

Aakash Chopra went on to discuss inclusivity and the cricket team’s skills. “I genuinely love the Nepal cricket squad, and I think BCCI should just take them under their wing. With bilateral series and other competitions, we ought to lend a helping hand and be extremely inclusive. They have some extremely talented players, and I think they might become a very powerful cricketing nation.

Paras Khadka, a former captain of the Nepalese squad, also discussed the team’s main players and potential growth in their chat with Chopra. Gyanendra Malla, who was a part of the entire setup throughout the qualifications, “has played a crucial role in molding this team.

He did his part, and now that Rohit Paudel is the junior captain, he has stepped into that position. In my opinion, he has had a tremendous start, and his teammates have shown them a lot of support. In Monty Desai, we have a wonderful coach. Overall, I think the present team’s setup is excellent; all we need to do is improve as a team and work toward consistency. The team can advance to the next stage with this.
