Ravi Shastri questions Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid’s selection process 

The choice of pacer Mukesh Kumar to bowl all-rounder Washington Sundar in the Indian playing XI caused former Indian coach Ravi Shastri a bit of bother during the opening session of the second Test between India and England in Visakhapatnam.

In his match commentary, Shastri questioned the selection of Mukesh Kumar in the starting lineup, especially considering that India had chosen to bat first on the Vizag pitch. He said that Washington Sundar could have been a better tactical move given India's batting difficulties without Ravindra Jadeja.

Electing to bat in the second Test, India's captain, Rohit Sharma, won the toss. In addition to giving Rajat Patidar his Test debut, the squad made three changes: spinner Kuldeep Yadav and pacer Mukesh Kumar were brought in to replace Mohammed Siraj and Ravindra Jadeja, respectively. During commentary, Ravi Shastri said: 

"My only concern is picking Mukesh Kumar over Washington Sundar. How much of use will Mukesh be, especially after India is batting first on this Vizag surface,"
