Former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin believes Riyan Parag still needs more time and experience batting in the middle order before being considered for India's white-ball teams. Ashwin's response came after ex-cricketer Shreevats Goswami criticized a fan for pushing Parag's inclusion in the ODI squad.
Washington Sundar was promoted to No. 5 in the ongoing series. He has scored only 14 runs across two innings. The left-handed batter made 13 off 19 balls in Ranchi, followed by just 1 run in the second ODI. He conceded 28 runs in four overs in Raipur, raising concerns about his place and the clarity of his role in the team.
