IND Vs Eng: ‘Sai Reformson should be his own number 3 spot’ – R Ashwin Karun Nair decides to blunt on the batting position
New Delhi: Veteran India Off-Spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has weighed India’s top-order batting coond, which has questioned the team management’s decision to push Karun Nair to number 3 in the second and third test of the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy against England. According to Ashwin, the step was a strategic misunderstanding that disrupted the mentality of a player who did not bat in that situation earlier.Go beyond the border with our YouTube channel.

After batting at number 6 in the initial trial in Headingley, Nair was promoted to number 3 in Birmingham and Lord, but failed to create an impact, excluding him for the fourth test at Old Trafford.
Instead, Ashwin praised Sai Reformson, who replaced Nair and scored 61 off 151 balls at 1 of the Manchester Test. “Credit to Sai Reformson, because it was a young after being a young and to come in the fourth Test in a series of 1-2 with India and to respond to the way he did.

Was Karun Nair a strategic incorrectly promoting by the team management to number 3?
Compared to Stalwarts like Rahul Dravid and Cheteshwar Pujara, Ashwin said, “He showed that kind of perseverance. He was able to quit the ball. He earned the right to score those runs. I am a little upset because I am a great well -wisher for him. He could have scored a hundred.”India ended day 1 at 264/4, in which Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur were unbeaten. Ashwin also pointed to a technical defect in the game of Reformson, suggesting that England missed a move. “One thing that will give her a quick problem is the ball coming back from the stump. Shardul Thakur rejected her in the final of a Ranji Trophy in that fashion.”
Ashwin performed by underlining mental strength, which was shown by reformson. “What is fine for someone playing in his second Test, okay. He was technically equipped and mentally strong. There was no need to leave him first.”
