Asia Cup 2022: India Women Great Says Not KL Rahul, But This Player Should Open vs Pakistan | Cricket News

[ad_1] File photo of KL Rahul© AFPFormer Indian women's team captain Anjum Chopra did not include star batter KL Rahul in the Rohit Sharma-led side's playing XI for the Asia Cup game against Pakistan on Sunday. Anjum feels that the Indian team should take the field against Pakistan with six bowlers, which will add more depth to the bowling, as well as batting department. The 45-year-old also suggested that wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant should open the batting, alongside captain Rohit Sharma."I feel India should go in with six specialist bowlers. That way, the bowling line-up can be covered well, with seam, off-spin and leg-spin. It also extends the batting line-up. Who will open the batting, who will bat in the middle, that is something which depends on the coach," Anjum said in a vid...

“Dinesh Karthik Is Better Option” Than Rishabh Pant For Asia Cup: Cheteshwar Pujara | Cricket News

[ad_1] India's Test specialist Cheteshwar Pujara feels it's "impossible" to include both Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik in the playing XI during the Asia Cup T20 tournament, given the team's settled top-order. The top-order comprises KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav, who Pujara describes as one of India's top T20 batters currently. They are followed by the likes of Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja, leaving space for only one player among Pant and Karthik."It's a big headache for the team management as both (Pant and Karthik) are doing really well in T20 format. The call is whether you want someone to bat at No.5 or you want a finisher who can bat at No. 6 or 7," Pujara said on ESPNcricinfo T20 Time:out."So, I would say, if you want someone at No. 5, Rishabh Pant...
