India’s white-ball template needs a makeover: Aakash Chopra

India’s cricket pundits on Monday called for changes in the team after South Africa’s one-day series whitewash following Virat Kohli’s exit as skipper. India lost their third and final ODI by four runs to end a disappointing tour that also saw the tourists lose the Test series 2-1. 


Cricketer-turned-commentator Aakash Chopra said the losses could help the team reinvent itself. “Losing...allows you to take bold decisions,” he said. “India’s white-ball cricket template needs a makeover...this could very well be the beginning of the new approach.” 


“What’s lacking about this particular Indian outfit is the batters that they have in the team, none of them chip in with three-four overs of bowling,” former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar told ESPNcricinfo. Former captain Sunil Gavaskar has backed Deepak Chahar’s inclusion in the XI, saying Bhuvneshwar Kumar has lost his sting.
