Former India player turned veteran commentator Aakash Chopra has said that the Indian team shouldn’t make any changes to their playing XI for the second Test against the West Indies as well. He also added that Nitish Kumar Reddy shouldn’t be dropped as the seam-bowling all-rounder wasn’t given enough chances in the first Test.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel, ‘Aakash Chopra,’ he said, “Do India need to make any changes? I would say if ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Generally, you make changes based on the conditions, but what will you change in this team? I don’t think you can actually change anything. Nitish Kumar Reddy didn’t get to bat in the first match. He bowled four overs and you had kept him at No. 8. You won’t drop him, that the pitch is flat, so you play one more bowler. How many bowlers will you play? You already have six options.”

“Six bowlers are already playing. You don’t need more than that. There could be only one tactical change. If Bumrah needs rest, you might play Prasidh Krishna in his place, but that’s about it. I won’t change a single thing. If something is working fine, let it work fine,” he shared again.

However, Aakash Chopra also urged the Indian team management to utilize Nitish Kumar Reddy with the bat as well.

“Try to get Nitish Kumar Reddy to bat because if you are playing someone, give him a chance at least, because two matches will pass, and suddenly you will feel that this guy hasn’t done anything, that we haven’t given him any work at all, and played him in the next match. He is not there only to take flying catches. Other jobs also need to be done. So I am thinking no changes whatsoever,” Aakash Chopra concluded.
