Former India opener and commentator Aakash Chopra has advised the hosts to send Washington Sundar before Dhruv Jurel in the Guwahati Test against South Africa. According to Chopra, Sundar has been
India’s best batter in the series, and he can help the team draw the Test as well.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Chopra said, “Change Washington Sundar’s batting order. Of course, Kuldeep Yadav is in right now and has faced a few balls. Send Washington Sundar ahead of Dhruv Jurel. Anyways, you are not looking at the left-right combination as you have sent Kuldeep Yadav in to bat with Sai Sudarshan.”

“I am talking about Washi because, in this series, India’s best batter is actually Washington Sundar. And you want that one session or one-and-a-half session, where you do not lose a wicket at least from one side. If that happens, then those partnerships may develop. Eventually, towards the end of the day, winning is not possible. But, drawing a Test is an art,” he again shared.

However, Team India are on the verge of losing the series against South Africa, irrespective of how
they bat on Day 5 in Guwahati as well.

“Four points [for draw] will give you 16% points. I know it’s not great, but losing means nothing. You will only get humiliation and embarrassment. You won’t get any points to show. And next 10 months, you are not playing any Test cricket. So, try and bat for three sessions and draw the Test,” Aakash Chopra concluded.
