India vs South Africa: Ashish Nehra Says Team Management "Hasn't Shown Full Confidence" In Avesh Khan

Former India pacer Ashish Nehra has expressed his concerns over how young fast bowler Avesh Khan has been used in the ongoing five-match T20I series against South Africa. The 35-year-old went wicketless in the first three games, but Nehra feels that Avesh hasn't performed badly. Speaking on the eve of the fourth T20I, Nehra pointed out that if India need someone to bowl during the middle and death overs, left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh might be a better option for the team.

India vs South Africa, 4th T20I, India Predicted XI: Will Avesh Khan Make way For Arshdeep Singh?

After losing the first two matches of the five-match T20I series, Team India bounced back beautifully to beat the high-flying Proteas in the third game to stay alive in the contest. It was a clinical show from the Rishabh Pant-led team, who first posted a total of 179/5 on the board before bundling out the Proteas for 131 runs. While Ruturaj Gaikwad (57 off 35), Ishan Kishan (54 off 35) and Hardik Pandya (31 not out off 21) shone with the bat in the first half of the match, it was Harshal Patel (4/25) and Yuzvendra Chahal (3/20) who hogged the limelight with the ball.

Hardik Pandya "Doesn't Need To Be Told By Coaches What He Needs To Do": Glenn McGrath

With an IPL trophy for Gujarat Titans in their maiden season, Hardik Pandya has impressed one and all with his captaincy skills. The Indian all-rounder had been sidelined by injury and his inability to bowl had been in focus for quite some time. However, Hardik bowled at full tilt during IPL 2022, paving the way for his return to the international side. Hardik Pandya was also named Rishabh Pant's deputy for the South Africa T20Is. He was also be leading Team India in the T20I series against Ireland. With his stocks at an all-time high, Glenn McGrath is among many who have lauded the all-rounder. The former Australia fast bowler is of the belief that Hardik Pandya doesn't need to be told by coaches what he needs to do.
