Indian Team Faces Criticism and Uncertainties Ahead of Asia Cup
Karachi: The Indian cricket team’s recent decision to abandon the T20 series against the West Indies has sparked strong criticism, with questions raised about the team selection and batting order experiments. Captain Hardik Pandya’s choices and the performance of young players like Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan, and Sanju Samson have come under fire.
Meanwhile, former Pakistani cricketer Danish Kaneria has openly expressed his belief that Pakistan holds an advantage over India in the upcoming Asia Cup. In a recent YouTube video, Kaneria emphasized that while the Indian team lacks consistency, Pakistan has a stable and well-established lineup.
One of the major concerns surrounding the Indian team is their inconsistency. Uncertainty looms over the selection of pacers for the Asia Cup, and even spinners like Yuzvendra Chahal have failed to deliver consistent performances. Kaneria predicts that India’s spin department in the Asia Cup will comprise of Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, and Axar Patel, with Ravi Bishnoi as a potential fourth spinner.

While KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer have returned to batting practice after recovering from their respective injuries, their inclusion in the team solely based on their performance in practice matches is being scrutinized. Kaneria argues that both players should prove themselves in competitive matches before being included in the final squad.
The highly anticipated India-Pakistan clash is scheduled to take place on September 2 during the Asia Cup, which commences on the 30th of this month. This will be the first encounter between the two teams since last year’s T20 World Cup. If both teams progress past the group stage, they are likely to face each other again in the Super Four and potentially the final.

Karachi: After abandoning the T20 series against the West Indies, there was strong criticism against the Indian team selection and the experiments conducted in the batting order. Captain Hardik Pandya’s decisions and the batting of the young team, which included Shubhman Gill, Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson, were criticized.
Meanwhile, former Pakistani player Danish Kaneria openly says that Pakistan has an edge over the Indian team in the upcoming Asia Cup. In a YouTube video, Kaneria said that the Indian team is not consistent, but the Pakistan team is a fixed team.
There is a lack of consistency in the Indian team. They don’t know which pacers will play in the Asia Cup. Similarly, among the spinners, Yuzvendra Chahal is also not giving out a consistent performance. So, I think Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel will be India’s spinners in the Asia Cup. If we pick the fourth spinner it will be Ravi Bishnoi.

KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer, who have been sidelined for a long time due to injury, have resumed batting practice but they cannot be directly included in the team just because they played in the practice match. Kaneria said they should not be included in the team without proving their form by playing competitive cricket.
The India-Pakistan match will be held on September 2 in the Asia Cup, which starts on the 30th of this month. This is the first time the two teams have faced each other since last year’s T20 World Cup. If they manage to get past the group stage, India and Pakistan are likely to face each other in the Super Four and the final.
