Chopra Questions Ten Doeschate on Player Selection Criticisms

Aakash Chopra reacts to Ryan ten Doeschate's comments on Nitish Kumar Reddy's performance and Rohit Sharma's form, questioning player opportunities.

Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra voiced surprise at assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate's assessments of Nitish Kumar Reddy and Rohit Sharma following India's second ODI loss to New Zealand. Chopra emphasized that Nitish Kumar Reddy hasn't been given sufficient chances to showcase his abilities, noting his batting at number seven and minimal bowling opportunities.

Chopra argued that if Nitish Kumar Reddy is considered a valuable player, he should have been given a higher batting order spot. He also pointed out that bowling only two overs limits any all-rounder's potential impact, questioning the basis for criticism.

Regarding Rohit Sharma, Chopra dismissed concerns about his form, citing his recent Player of the Series award and consistent good starts. He suggested that with the next ODI series six months away, Rohit's current performance is not a pressing issue requiring debate.
