New Delhi. Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has supported Ruturaj Gaikwad. He has clearly told the team management that Ruturaj Gaikwad should not be judged for his failures because of the position in which he has scored runs. Not playing in that position anymore. In the first match of the three-match ODI series against South Africa, he played at fourth position and could score 8 runs in 14 balls. In Ranchi, he played in place of Shreyas Iyer, as Iyer is not available for this series due to injury.

Ruturaj Gaikwad’s innings ended early before a dangerous catch by Dewald Brevis. Seeing Ruturaj Gaikwad, who scored a lot of runs in domestic cricket, it seemed that he had failed. However, Aakash Chopra does not think so. He criticized the team management and said that Gaikwad is a top order batsman and he should not be judged here. He asked the team management to give him the right opportunities and if he fails, he should not be dropped as he is used to opening most of the time.

No one, the team is going through a change.
Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “I really don’t understand what is happening. Ruturaj Gaikwad has never batted at number 4 in ODI. You sent him to that position and he got out because of a brilliant catch by Dewald Brevis. When he got out, I folded my hands and said please give him full three chances. Even if he fails, don’t drop him out immediately. On the basis of these three performances, he will be out.” Don’t judge. His main job is to open. Unless you can give him that position, you have no right to pass any judgment on his ODI career.

introduced new players
On Rishabh Pant being preferred over Washington Sundar, Aakash Chopra said, “And now Rishabh Pant — when will you play him? He is a pure middle-order batsman who performs best at No. 4 or 5, and yet you don’t pick him even when there is space in the middle order. Instead, you send two players who have never batted in those positions.”
