DRS, Feb 24: Pakistan protest IPL-linked shadow ban & Sanju Samson to replace Abhishek Sharma?

Why was Axar Patel benched? Was India overconfident against South Africa? Will Abhishek Sharma get dropped for Sanju Samson? All these questions were asked after the Ahmedabad thrashing. Some of them have been answered. The West Indies rolled back the clock to 2016 against Zimbabwe. And Pakistan writes to England about a supposed ban.

Samson in, Abhishek out?

Abhishek Sharma didn’t register a 4th consecutive duck but departed for another low score against South Africa. Will India now drop the opener? India’s assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate was asked the question in Ahmedabad. He didn’t rule out the possibility of bringing Sanju Samson in, but also talked about backing those who’ve been in the side for the last 18 months.

Why did Washington Sundar play?

Why was Washington Sundar picked over Axar Patel? Ryan ten Doeschate stated that the management felt the left-handed batters in South Africa’s side were the biggest threat to India. That’s why Sundar was selected. Moreover, he was expected to bowl in the powerplay, but his services weren’t needed after Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh’s incredible start.

What were India & Tilak Varma doing?

Sunil Gavaskar thinks India were overconfident while chasing 188 against South Africa. The Men in Blue didn’t learn from the Proteas, especially how Dewald Brevis and David Miller batted. The Indian legend also expressed disappointment with Tilak Varma. Gavaskar doesn’t understand why Tilak ran down the wicket on the second ball he faced when his job was to consolidate after Ishan Kishan’s dismissal.
