The Indian team’s decision to include fast bowler Harshit Rana has been controversial. Due to his close relationship with head coach Gautam Gambhir, social media users have claimed that Rana should be selected first in the team even before the team sheet is created. The selection is entirely fair, according to Rajeev Shukla, vice president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
Shukla has asserted that the public ought to responsibly voice any grievances or critiques regarding the squad selection procedure.
Shukla corroborated Gambhir’s assertion that Rana deserved a spot in the national team, adding that needless online abuse might depress a player’s spirits.
It’s true, Gautam Gambhir. It should be handled appropriately if someone has any complaints regarding the players. This will lower the players’ spirits. The team is responsible for player selection. Therefore, you should consider how much responsibility you should accept before you say anything about the players,” Shukla was cited by Tribune India as adding.
India defeats the West Indies in New Delhi with ease.
These remarks followed India’s decisive series victory over the West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi, which ended in a score of 2-0. The team captained by Shubman Gill had already won the opening match in Ahmedabad by an innings and 140 runs, and they entered the encounter in New Delhi with an insurmountable advantage in the two-match series. India won easily after chasing down a modest 58-run total on the fifth day of the second and final match.
The team’s next trip will be to Australia for a multi-format white-ball series that includes three One-Day Internationals and five Twenty20 Internationals against the Mitchell Marsh-led team. Due to the resting of players like Mohammed Shami, Hardik Pandya, and Jasprit Bumrah, Rana, who is a member of both teams, is anticipated to play a significant role in the 50-overs squad.
