Johannesburg: ” Pujara and Raghane are constantly on the prowl. Coach Dravid must have made the tough decision to remove them, ” Dinesh Karthik of Tamil Nadu stressed.
Pujara and Raghane stumble over India’s experienced ‘middle order’ batsmen in the South African Test series. Pujara scored just 3 off 33 balls in the first innings of the second Test in Johannesburg. Raghane fell on the first ball and Golden ‘duck’ out. Pujara has not scored a single century in the last 45 innings. Raghane has not scored a single century in the last 25 innings. With young players like Shreyas Iyer waiting, the question has arisen as to whether it is right to continue to give a chance to two who have not played.
Indian keeper / batsman Dinesh Karthik said:
We have given enough opportunity to Pujara and Raghane. These are senior players who are ranked based on the talent they have exhibited in the past. Both did not make it to the South African series. Pujara, who is ranked 3rd in the world’s best Indian team, has not scored a single century in three years. The opportunity for them has come to an end. Both know this. When Kohli returns to the team, one has to lead the way. When Dravid was in the last phase of his Test career, Pujara played better. Continued to give Dravid the crisis. He eventually captured his 3rd place. Life is a circle. Indian coach Dravid is currently in the process of deciding the fate of Pujara. He must have made tough decisions in the case of Pujara and Raghane. You can delete someone. Both can be removed if necessary. Given a lot of opportunities, you can make a bold decision. However Dravid does not want to make big decisions and cause shock waves in the team. He will study the talents of both and make decisions at the right time. Thus said Dinesh Karthik.
