Former India player turned veteran commentator Aakash Chopra has proposed a change in India’s playing XI for the second ODI against Afghanistan. He added that Prince Yadav could potentially replace Prasidh Krishna, stating that the latter has played a lot of cricket lately as well.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel, ‘Aakash Chopra,’ he said, “It seems like they won’t play Kuldeep. We felt you played Harsh Dubey because it was a 25-over match, but that wasn’t the case because he was told the previous evening that he would be playing. So, there was no plan to play Kuldeep, and it won’t change either because it will be a similar kind of surface in Lucknow,” Chopra said.

“There will be help once again for Gurnoor Brar here. You can play Prince Yadav in place of Prasidh Krishna if you wish. You may toy with that idea because Prasidh plays a lot of cricket. He was playing the Test recently and has played the entire IPL. Prince has played on this ground itself for LSG, and he has done well. So maybe you want to try him. I want better bowling from Washington. He bats very well, but the performance hasn’t been that good in bowling. You are going to be Ashwin’s replacement, but to reach there, he needs to bowl a lot better,” he shared again.

Reflecting on the batting department, Aakash Chopra shared hope that Rohit Sharma is among the runs as well.

“I am looking at only two or three guys in batting. KL Rahul and Shubman Gill have batted like a dream. Ishan Kishan scored 34 runs. He also batted decently. Rohit Sharma got run out. So you want him to have a good game. The other is Shreyas Iyer. They are the two players who didn’t score runs in the first match. You feel it would be good if they score runs. Other than that, I don’t see scope for too many changes,” Chopra concluded.
