When India announced their T20I team for the three-match series against Sri Lanka, former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra was taken aback. After an influential performance in the recently concluded Twenty20 World Cup, Kuldeep Yadav was benched in favour of Ravi Bishnoi and Washington Sundar in place of Yuzvendra Chahal. Chopra thinks it was “surprising” to lose Kuldeep, particularly after winning the World Cup.
The 46-year-old questioned whether Kuldeep would play in T20Is coming forward after noticing that the left-arm leg-spinner was heading for ODIs. Along with questioning the withdrawal of Chahal from T20Is and Ravindra Jadeja from ODIs, he also sought to know if the team management had changed their course.
In T20 cricket, Kuldeep Yadav’s name is absent. It’s shocking that despite having just won the World Cup, the player’s name is not mentioned in T20 cricket. Has anything occurred that we are unaware of? He is using the ODI configuration. In a video posted to his YouTube account, Chopra stated, “I don’t know why he isn’t playing T20Is.”
Additionally, Yuz Chahal comes to mind. You had only recently joined the World Cup. You have nowhere to go after that. Moreover, Ravindra Jadeja does not play ODI cricket. What’s taking place over there? Although he retired from T20Is, he was still available for ODIs. Have Team India begun to explore elsewhere if he is available and isn’t being used despite that? He continued.
Why hasn’t Ruturaj Gaikwad’s name been mentioned yet? Aakash Chopra
Despite his outstanding performance in the five-match Twenty20 International series against Zimbabwe, opener Ruturaj Gaikwad was unable to establish himself in either of the white-ball forms. He mentioned that Shubman Gill was not even in the squad currently, although Gaikwad was regarded as the captain a few months ago.

Ruturaj Gaikwad is absent from both versions. Why has Ruturaj Gaikwad’s name not shown, and what did he do? You were deserving of the captaincy of a team six months ago, even if Shubman Gill wasn’t playing. However, Shubman is now the vice-captain, and Ruturaj isn’t even on the team in T20Is or ODIs. Is that accurate? In the same video, he stated.
