‘He came back into ODI plans, India paid a price’: Manjrekar slams India senior

Sanjay Manjrekar hits R Ashwin again. The former India batsman has often criticised Ashwin for his performances in SENA countries (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia), and after India’s dismal trip to South Africa, he shared his thoughts on the output of the senior off-hand.

R Ashwin returned to the Over-50s after five years against the Proteas but failed to make any impact in the first two games of the Paarl series. In the first game, he recorded a 1/53 and hit 7 with the bat. In the next game, he returned without the ball and gave up 68 points on his spell. With the bat, he scored an unbeaten 25 points. Captain KL Rahul then dropped him for the final race as he made four changes, hoping to avoid whitewashing. “For some reason, Ashwin strangely went back to India’s ODI program. India paid for it. He played two crucial matches and did nothing. (Yuzvendra) Chahal was also on the scanner Down. Prasidh Krishna needs more support. Also, at 50+, Mohammed Shami could be a good option.

“In bowling, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has shown even before this series that it is difficult for him to get back to his best. I think the problem is solved after seeing his performance in the series. And Deepak Chahal It was a goal from Janneman Maran who should have told the selectors that he was a better choice,” he elaborated

Finally, speaking of the series loss and the trip to South Africa as a whole, Manjrekar called it a “terrible loss”.

“The way the game ended sums up India’s entire trip. It has to be one of India’s poorest trips to South Africa. That’s what it’s meant to be. This is not India’s time in South Africa. It’s a bad loss,” he concluded. road.
