He made this observation while talking about the Indian batting effort in yesterday’s encounter in a video shared on his YouTube channel.
Aakash Chopra pointed out that the Indian team is not able to bat in an aggressive fashion despite having depth in their batting with Washington Sundar slotted to wield his willow at the No. 8 position.
While observing that Shikhar Dhawan was dismissed early in yesterday’s encounter, Aakash Chopra mentioned that Sanju Samson and Manish Pandey would need some time to adjust to their new roles of batting slightly down the order.
Aakash Chopra’s preferred batting order for the Indian team going forward
Aakash Chopra suggested that the Indian team should look to bat Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja up the order in the long run, with Sundar capable of coming in at No. 7.
He pointed out that the Indian batting hasn’t been at its best with Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja bailing them out in the last two matches.
Aakash Chopra signed off by stating that India should persist with Sanju Samson and Manish Pandey for the next two T20Is and not be too hasty in making changes.
With Ravindra Jadeja ruled out of the remainder of the T20I series, the Indian team would have to field a couple of batsmen along with Hardik Pandya at the No. 4 to No. 6 spots.
Although they have the option of including Shreyas Iyer, India might stick with Sanju Samson and Manish Pandey after having given them a chance in the first T20I of the series.
