India vs Australia Dinesh Karthik: The first match of the three-match ODI series was played between India and Australia on Friday. In this match, Ravichandran Ashwin returned to the ODI format after 18 months. However, he could not show anything special. It is believed that if he manages to perform well in this series, he can be included in the World Cup squad in place of Axar Patel.
India vs Australia Dinesh Karthik Ashwin did not get a place in the Asia Cup squad
India vs Australia Dinesh Karthik: Let us tell you that Team India recently captured the Asia Cup title. India performed brilliantly in this tournament. The team’s star spinner Kuldeep Yadav played an important role in India winning the Asia Cup title with his lethal bowling. In the 16th edition of the Asia Cup, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, and Axar Patel were included in the team as spinners. But Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal were kept out of the team.
Axar Patel was injured in the India vs Bangladesh match. This match was played on 15 September in Colombo. In such a situation, the team was facing the problem of the absence of a spinner. To deal with this, Washington Sundar was selected for the team. In the final match played on 17 September, the captain included Sundar in the playing 11 in place of Akshar Patel.
India vs Australia Dinesh Karthik Dinesh Karthik made a big revelation
India vs Australia Dinesh Karthik: During this time, questions were raised as to why the team management did not include Ravichandran Ashwin in place of Sundar even though he has more experience than Sundar. Now Dinesh Karthik has made a big revelation regarding this. He said that the captain and chief selector had first discussed with Ashwin. But the bowler himself refused to join the team. He was in NCA at that time.
The star wicketkeeper-batsman said that I had inside information. I will defend Rohit, Ajit, and Rahul Dravid here. He had called Ashwin first for the Asia Cup final. He talked to Ashwin, in which it was revealed that Anna was not a complete match fit. Ashwin said that it would be better if I did not come. Washington was playing.
He was playing in a local tournament in Chennai and was in NCA. So Sundar was sent for that one match (Asia Cup final). He further said that Ashwin played some local club matches, after which he was selected for the ODI series against Australia. This is the whole story. Even before the Asia Cup final, their (team management) first choice was Ashwin. I can understand how Washington got a little misled, but they chose Ashwin first.
