IND vs SA ODI: After the defeat by four wickets in the second ODI against South Africa, questions are being raised on the management. Meanwhile, R Ashwin said that we should first clarify the place of Washington Sundar.
IND vs SA ODI: The Indian team had to face defeat in the second ODI against South Africa after scoring brilliantly. Meanwhile, many players are now being evaluated to see where mistakes were made that resulted in losing the won match. Meanwhile, the statement of former Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has come out and he said that Team India management should make Washington Sundar’s role in the team very clear and if the team management does not succeed in doing so, then the spinner will be in doubt as to what is his main role in the team.
Role should be decided in the team: Ashwin
R Ashwin said that Washington should be considered as the bowling all-rounder in the team and he should be given full overs on the field, so that he can be confident in his batting. The 26-year-old player bowled 7 overs in the two ODI matches played against South Africa and could not get a single wicket. After this, Ashwin said on his YouTube channel that once the captain has decided to keep Sundar in the playing eleven, then you should see his role as a bowler who can also bat well if needed. He further said that Sundar will have to bowl all his quota of overs in the match, only then the team can make good use of him.
Ashwin comes out in support of Sundar
The former spinner further said that only by bowling continuously will Washington Sundar have the mindset of a bowler who can also bat brilliantly later on. If he is made to do limit overs, he will be confused as to what his role is in the team. He should never be left in this situation and the team management should decide his situation at one place. Let us tell you that in the second ODI, India had given a target of 358 runs, which South Africa achieved with 4 wickets in hand. At the same time, 348 runs were scored in the first ODI and Team India won this match by 17 runs. Meanwhile, Ashwin says that due to the absence of Hardik Patel, Team India is missing a great finisher. We currently do not have a finisher like Hardik, who has the power to hit big shots when needed.
