‘Can’t drop him after one failure’: Ex-India opener warns Rahul and co. against ‘chopping and changing’ in XI in SA ODIs

India suffered a defeat in their first ODI against South Africa on Wednesday and are aiming for a strong comeback when they play at Pal later today. The KL Rahul-led team looked rusty, and neither the bowling offense nor the batting order could stand up to Temba Bavuma’s team.

After Shikhar Dhawan (79) and Virat Kohli (51) set the stage for a chase of 297 runs, the middle order failed to continue the momentum as India trailed by 31 runs. Shreyas Iyer was picked ahead of No. 4 Suryakumar Yadav, but he failed to take advantage of the opportunity as he was dismissed for only 17 fewer deliveries.

There have been calls to change the XI as the series consists of just three ODIs, but former India opener Aakash Chopra believes Iyer cannot be dropped after “one defeat”.

“Can’t drop Shreyas Iyer after one defeat and bring in someone else. It’s not fair because he needs to get quite a few chances to prove himself,” Chopra said on his official YouTube channel.

About Squid Game

Squid Game season two premiered on December 26 last year. It starred Lee Jung-jae and centred around a secret competition in South Korea that target people in debt and the winner get a big cash prize. However, losing the game is deadly. Directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk, Squid Game season one released in 2021.

Speaking with AP recently, Dong-hyuk said that he originally conceived of the show 15 years ago as a two-hour film but it failed to gain traction with financiers or even interested actors. He put it aside and worked on other films instead. He then had the idea to make it a TV series instead and took the project to Netflix. There, it could reach a wide audience. “I never in my wildest dream thought it was going to be this huge,” he had said.
