Legendary Sunil Gavaskar slammed Virat Kohli and team management, over continues exclusion of Anjikya Rahane from ODI set up since long time for no reason.
‘It looks like all the nice guys are being left out’ and ‘they should start getting a different hair style and some body art done too to get picked in the team,’ Gavaskar wrote in a column for a leading daily.
“India had made changes on the expected lines with the unassuming trio of Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Kedar Jadhav and Yazuvendra Chahal being left out of the side. Rahul got yet another chance while the top scorer of the just-concluded One-day series in the West Indies -Ajinkya Rahane -sat out once again. After the magnificent partnership between Rohit Sharma and skipper Kohli had been broken, it was expected that Rahul would come in to bat. He would have had time to settle down and get his eye in. Instead it was Hardik Pandya who was sent in earlier” he added in his column.
Though, he was the highest scorer for India in the previous ODI series against West Indies, Rahane is the only player in the team, who is yet to play a game in the series.
