Former India player turned veteran commentator Aakash Chopra has questioned the Indian team’s tactics in the third T20I against Australia. He also asked why the visitors didn’t use Washington Sundar with the ball and dropped Harshit Rana as well. However, India beat Australia by five wickets in the third T20I in Hobart on Sunday, November 2 as well.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel, ‘Aakash Chopra,’ he said, “Why wasn’t Washington Sundar made to bowl? This is a big question. Firstly, you made a lot of changes. You shouldn’t have dropped Harshit in this match. You should have played Harshit in this match because you had to bowl Shivam Dube. So you could have played Harshit and made him bat at No. 8 because he batted well in the last match.”

“He didn’t bowl well once or twice, so you didn’t play him, but you won’t be able to prepare Harshit also like this. There was a lot of criticism. You kept playing him until there was criticism, and you dropped him when people were praising him. It wasn’t understandable,” he further added.

However, Aakash Chopra also opined on Suryakumar Yadav’s decision not to use Washington Sundar with the ball as well.

“You didn’t get Washi to bowl. This is surprising, that you are playing him but not making him bowl. If someone tells me that he wasn’t bowled because there were right-handers in the middle, Travis Head is the only left-hander in the entire batting lineup. You knew that beforehand,” he said.

“Australia’s batting lineup has all right-handers. If Washi can’t bowl there, he shouldn’t play. Washi batted incredibly well and we also got to see his power game, something we haven’t seen much, which is outstanding, but not getting him to bowl makes no sense because you had left two overs for Shivam Dube and Abhishek Sharma in the last five overs,” Aakash Chopra concluded.
