"Need Someone Who...": Ex-India Star Suggests Big Change In Playing XI Against South Africa

Former Indian cricket team batter Robin Uthappa believes that Ramandeep Singh should be given a chance in the third T20I encounter against South Africa. India's batters struggled massively as the Suryakumar Yadav-led side slumped to a heavy loss in the second T20I clash on Sunday. A glaring problem with the side on Sunday was the lower-order batting and Uthappa said that Ramandeep can add a lot of solidity at No. 8. During a discussion on JioCinema, Uthappa pointed out that Ramandeep should be handed his debut on Wednesday as he can also provide a decent bowling option to the team.

"Underutilised...": Ex-India Star Points Out Suryakumar Yadav's 'Obvious Mistake' Against South Africa

Former Indian cricket team batter Sanjay Manjrekar believes that all-rounder Axar Patel was 'underutilised' in the first two T20I encounters against South Africa. Following India's loss in the second game of the four-match series on Sunday, Manjrekar said that although India are playing Axar as the third spinner with Varun Chakravarthy and Ravi Bishnoi, the team management has failed to use him properly. While the track did provide some help to the spinners, Axar bowled just one over in the match. Manjrekar was not pleased with the decision and called it an "obvious mistake" by captain Suryakumar Yadav.

Varun Chakaravarthy Explains 'Gautam Gambhir Factor' Behind Roaring Form

Mystery spinner Varun Chakaravarthy has described the three-year gap from international cricket as "tough," but credited the intense domestic grind and the role clarity provided by new head coach Gautam Gambhir for helping him to regain his lost form. The 33-year-old spinner recorded his career-best figures of 5 for 17 in Sunday's second T20I against South Africa, though his efforts could not prevent India from losing by three wickets. Reflecting on his return to the national side, Chakaravarthy said that Gambhir's guidance had been pivotal.

From Local Leagues To IPL To Team India: Varun Chakravarthy's Remarkable Rise

Varun Chakaravarthy, after being dropped from the Indian cricket team, went back to the basics and made significant changes to his bowling technique. Reflecting on his learnings from his first stint with the team, Chakaravarthy shared the details of his journey. "I had to go to the drawing board and check out all my videos," Chakaravarthy said. "I figured out that I was bowling side spin, and it was not working out in the higher levels. So, I had to change everything about my bowling, and it took me two years and I started bowling in the local leagues and IPL also. So, it worked there, and I have started bowling it on the international stage and it's working out for me," he said exclusively on JioCinema after India's three-wicket loss to South Africa in the second T20I.

"Bad Captaincy By Suryakumar Yadav": Ex-Pakistan Star's Brutal Verdict On India's Loss Against South Africa

Indian cricket team captain Suryakumar Yadav faced a lot of criticism following his side's loss to South Africa in the second T20I encounter on Sunday. India looked on course to victory thanks to a brilliant five-wicket haul by Varun Chakaravarthy but South Africa mounted a late comeback to clinch the win. Former Pakistan cricket team star Basit Ali was extremely critical of Suryakumar's captaincy and said that it ultimately led to the defeat. He pointed out the fact that using Axar Patel would have been the right course of action but Suryakumar ended up giving just one over to the all-rounder.
