R Ashwin criticises Team India management for undermining Karun Nair's mindset: 'You played him in unfamiliar position'

Former India cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin took a dig at Team Indian management over the treatment meted out to Karun Nair as he praised Sai Sudharsan's batting at No.3 slot on his return to the Test team. read more Legendary Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has criticised Team India management for forcing Karun Nair into a new role, which he feels would have impacted his mindset after the batter was dropped from the playing XI. Karun did not find a place in India's playing XI for the fourth Test against England at Manchester that began on Wednesday, with the visitors being 2-1 down in the five-match series. Head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Shubman Gill decided to include top-order batter Sai Sudharsan at No.3 in place of Nair as the Chennai cricketer scored 61 on Day 1. This was Sai Sudharsan's second Test. His debut came in the first Test at Headingley at No.3, but he was dropped after scores of 0 and 30, while Nair was promoted to No.3 from No.6. Nair is largely a No.5 batter. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Ashwin slams Team India management for Karun Nair treatment Analysing Day 1's play from the Manchester Test, Ashwin lambasted the Indian team management for hurting Nair's mindset as he praised Sudharsan's 'fine' knock. 'What a fine, fine knock for someone playing just his second Test, Vimal bhai. I'm not kidding - he got a chance at No. 3 in his debut, and then he was dropped. That shouldn't have happened. He was your technically sound No. 3 with the right mindset. Karun Nair had never batted at three before. You made him play in an unfamiliar position and that affected his mindset,' Ashwin said on his YouTube show Ash ki Baat with journalist Vimal Kumar. Ashwin also highlighted the challenges Sudharsan had to overcome to score a fifty on return after losing his spot immediately after his debut. 'Credit to Sai Sudharsan, because it is not easy being a youngster after getting dropped and with India 1-2 behind in the series to come into the fourth Test and respond the way he did. I think he has to own that No. 3 for the near future to be able to give a bit of solidity for the team,' Ashwin said. 'He showed that sort of solidity. He was able to leave the ball. He earned the right to score those runs. I am a bit upset because I am a huge well-wisher of him. He could have scored a hundred.'

Rishabh Pant's Injury Triggers Debate Over Substitution: 'Four Days Left, It's 10 Vs 11'

Last Updated: Rishabh Pant's injury on the opening day of the 4th Test between India and England has Michael Vaughan suggest introduction of subs in cricket. With a full four days left in the Manchester Test, India are in danger of being reduced to 10 batters against England after Rishabh Pant copped a blow to his right foot that forced him off the field on the opening day. While the severity of Pant's injury is still unknown, former cricketers including Ravi Shastri, Ricky Ponting, Michael Atherton are concerned that the reaction from Pant indicates it could be quite serious and potentially end his England tour prematurely. With the fate of the series hinging on the result of the 4th Test that got underway at Old Trafford on Wednesday, India's hopes of drawing level with England will be seriously hurt if Pant is unable to take the field again in the contest. The Shubman Gill-led side is trailing 1-2 and Pant is the in-form batter having scored two centuries and as many half-centuries so far. Former England captain Michael Vaughan has pointed out how the contest will effectively be reduced to 11 vs 10 with four days left and suggested that teams be allowed option to introduce a substitute player in the eventuality of someone in their eleven getting seriously injured. 'I don't like the fact that we've got four days left in the game – four days of action in what has been an incredible series – where we are going to have ten versus eleven," Vaughan said on Test Match Special. 'I prefer that you'd have a sub. You know, once they brought in concussion subs, I was crying out, saying, 'Well, just have substitutions then in the first innings of a game.' That would be my stepping point. If it happens in the second innings, I feel that team might kind of break the rules or indulge in a bit of skullduggery." 'But if it's clear and obvious – when someone breaks a hand or a foot or ruptures a calf – it's so evident that someone is in real pain and can't carry on. I think it's very clear to me: you should be allowed a sub," he added. England legend Alastair Cook though has a different view on it. Cook asked what happens if it's just a bruise which renders a batter unable to hold a bat? 'I'm not sure I agree," said Cook. 'I'm not even sure what I think at the moment. But say we've just seen Pant walk off – he looks in all kinds of pain. And then it turns out it's not broken. 'So there's nothing on the X-ray, it's just a bruise. Does he have to play on then? If he has broken his foot, then that's a different thing." 'But there will be cases where someone gets hit on the arm. 'I can't move my hand, I'm bruised.' But it's only a bruise. So do you get replaced because of discomfort and the fact that you can't hold the bat as well as you'd like – even though it's just a bruise?" he added. view comments First Published: July 24, 2025, 11:23 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
