<p>India beat West Indies, 2-1, in the recently-held three-match ODI series in the Caribbean island. While Rohit Sharma-led visitors won the series opener by five wickets, they lost the second and penultimate tie -- by six wickets -- before winning the decider by 200 runs. What made heads turn during the three ODIs was India's team combination as the Rahul Dravid-led team management rested Rohit and Kohli for the final two matches whereas the fringed players' usage was also questioned.</p>

<p>From the second ODI, Ishan Kishan opened the innings along with Shubman Gill. While Ishan ended the series with scores of 52, 55 and 77, it is to be noted that he played as an opener. Given Rohit and Gill are certain at the top, KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer will take the middle-order slots once deemed fit before the ODI World Cup. Thus, if Ishan makes the cut for the 50-over showpiece event, to be held in India later this year, he will most likely be slotted at the lower-order. Hence, many raised eyebrows as India used him as an opener throughout the WI ODIs.</p>

<p>The former cricketers and experts were baffled with how India utilised the likes of Axar Patel, Suryakumar Yadav and Sanju Samson in the series whereas many slammed them for overlooking Yuzvendra Chahal. Now, former Pakistan captain Salman Butt has lashed out at Team India for the way they have used some players in the recent ODIs.</p>

<h2><strong>'One guy being dropped after scoring 200... what's the point?'</strong></h2>

<p>Butt said on his official YouTube channel, "I absolutely agree (that India's experiment with Ishan was confusing). One guy being dropped after scoring 200... what's the point? Either they accept the fact that he is second option, even if he scores 1000 runs in a single innings. That never gives you the feeling of being the best, that never gives you the feeling that you will be rewarded for your performances. Currently, the feeling is no matter what you do, you will be the second option."</p>

'Even if he scores 1,000 runs in an inning, he is...': Ex-Pak captain slams India for experiments in WI ODIs

<p>India recently won the three-match ODI series versus West Indies, in the Caribbean island, 2-1. Rohit Sharma-led Men in Blue won the series opener, by five wickets, but they played a second-stringed side, with Rohit and Virat Kohli being rested, to lose the second and penultimate tie by six wickets. Despite the defeat, and heavy criticism for playing a second-stringed line-up, India again rested Rohit and Kohli and entered the third ODI with the series on the line.</p>

<p>However, the Hardik Pandya-led side came to their best in the finale and posted a mammoth 351/5. In reply, Shai Hope-led West Indies were bundled out for 151 in 35.3 overs and lost&nbsp;by 200 runs in Trinidad, on Tuesday (August 01). Despite the series triumph, many critics slammed the Dravid-led Indian team management for not playing their regulars in the three ODIs with the 50-over World Cup only a few months away, to be held in India in October-November.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>'Seriously don’t understand why this outrage'</strong></h2>

<p>Now, veteran Indian off-spinner R Ashwin has schooled Rohit-Dravid's critics. "India lost the second ODI, and immediately the trend in social media was - why so-and-so players played and why so-and-so players did not play. I seriously don’t understand why this outrage. Rohit and Virat didn’t play in the second ODI. Even in the first match, Rohit batted lower down the order. So the debate was around whether Rohit and Virat should have played," Ashwin said on his YouTube channel.</p>

<h2>'The reason why we are favourites for ODI World Cup is the IPL'</h2>

<p>Ashwin further pointed out, “Some of them were perplexed at how we lost to a team that didn’t even qualify for the World Cup. Many people think that India’s only job in international cricket is to win World Cup. The main reason why we consider ourselves favourites to win the World Cup is because of the IPL. ODI matches are very stressful. It will take at least two days for your body to recover. The first two matches in West Indies were played in a gap of 24 hours. Thus, there are more chances of you getting injured. Already we have so many players recovering at the NCA. Bumrah is back after a long hiatus. Prasidh Krishna is back too. So, we have so many injury problems. It seems like people are finding points to blame Rahul Dravid and Rohit Sharma just for the sake of it."</p>

<p>The 36-year-old Test specialist added,&nbsp;"They are trying different players now because they know what they went through during the last T20 World Cup. We didn’t have Ravindra Jadeja and Bumrah, and we didn’t have many fast bowlers. That’s why we are trying different options before the ODI World Cup."</p>

<p>At present, the Hardik Pandya-led Indian T20I team is set to lock horns with West Indies in the five-match series opener on Thursday (August 03) in Trinidad. After the West Indies tour, Rohit-Dravid-led Indian team will gear up for the Asia Cup, in the ODI format, which will be an ideal dress rehearsal for the home WC. They will hope for the likes of Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul to be deemed fit sooner than later, with Jasprit Bumrah and Prasidh Krishna set to comeback in next month's Ireland T20Is, to strengthen their line-up before the ODI showpiece event later this year.</p>

The Indian team already under scanner for not playing the duo has yet again made a bold statement as they look to clinch the series in the absence of Virat and Rohit. The team also made a couple of alterations to the side as Jaydev Unadkat returned to the ODI side for the first time in a decade, having last played in November 2013.</p>

IND vs WI 3rd ODI: Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma rested again as Hardik Pandya leads; Unadkat returns after decade

<p>India are set to face West Indies in the third and final ODI in Trinidad on Tuesday (August 01). With the series levelled at 1-1, there is everything to play for the Rohit Sharma-led visitors as they continue to prepare for the forthcoming World Cup at home, which starts on October 05. Ahead of the final ODI, former India captain Kapil Dev made a glaring remark when he stated that the current Indian players are 'arrogant' and feel they know it all due to their big pay cheques.</p>

<p>In an interview with The Week, Kapil reacted to an old statement from his former teammate Sunil Gavaskar, where the Little Master revealed that&nbsp;the current Indian players have never called him up for help despite going through rough patches, unlike yesteryear superstars such as Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman, Rahul Dravid, etc.</p>

<p>To this, Kapil opined, "Sometimes, when too much money comes, arrogance comes. These cricketers, they feel they know everything. That's the difference. I would say there are so many cricketers who need help. When Sunil Gavaskar is there, why can't you talk? Why should there be ego? They feel they are good enough. Maybe they are good enough, but extra help from somebody, who has seen 50 seasons of cricket, won't hurt. He knows which side the grass grows and where the sun comes out from."</p>

<h2><strong>'Such questions crop up when....'</strong></h2>

<p>Now, Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has reacted to all such claims. In a press conference ahead of the final ODI versus the Windies, Jadeja said, "I didn't know when he said this. I don't search too many things on social media. Everyone has their own opinion. It's nothing like that. Everybody is enjoying their game and working hard. Players are not taking their place in the team for granted. Whenever they are getting chances, they are giving their 100 per cent and trying to win games for India."</p>

<p>"Such questions crop up when India loses a game. Nobody is arrogant. Everybody is representing India. We are working hard and playing for the country. There is no personal agenda," Jadeja added.</p>

<p>Talking about the ODI series opener, Rohit-led India won by five wickets in pursuit of 115 before the Men in Blue rested Rohit and Virat Kohli in the following ODI. Hardik Pandya led the side as the second-stringed Indian team lost by six wickets, in defence of 181. The series is up for grabs and India will be desperate to not concede the series to a team that is not even going to participate in the upcoming 50-over World Cup.</p>

In an interview with The Week, Kapil reacted to an old statement from his former teammate Sunil Gavaskar, where the Little Master revealed that the current Indian players have never called him up for help despite going through rough patches, unlike yesteryear superstars such as Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman, Rahul Dravid, etc. To this, Kapil opined, "Sometimes, when too much money comes, arrogance comes. These cricketers, they feel they know everything. That's the difference. I would say there are so many cricketers who need help. When Sunil Gavaskar is there, why can't you talk? Why should there be ego? They feel they are good enough. Maybe they are good enough, but extra help from somebody, who has seen 50 seasons of cricket, won't hurt. He knows which side the grass grows and where the sun comes out from." 'Such questions crop up when....' Now, Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has reacted to all such claims. In a press conference ahead of the final ODI versus the Windies, Jadeja said, "I didn't know when he said this. I don't search too many things on social media. Everyone has their own opinion. It's nothing like that. Everybody is enjoying their game and working hard. Players are not taking their place in the team for granted. Whenever they are getting chances, they are giving their 100 per cent and trying to win games for India." Also read: 'Despite money and power, we've become...': Former India pacer lashes out at Rohit Sharma & Co. "Such questions crop up when India loses a game. Nobody is arrogant. Everybody is representing India. We are working hard and playing for the country. There is no personal agenda," Jadeja added. Talking about the ODI series opener, Rohit-led India won by five wickets in pursuit of 115 before the Men in Blue rested Rohit and Virat Kohli in the following ODI. Hardik Pandya led the side as the second-stringed Indian team lost by six wickets, in defence of 181. The series is up for grabs and India will be desperate to not concede the series to a team that is not even going to participate in the upcoming 50-over World Cup.

<p>Mohammed Siraj is heading back to India as part of the workload management as he won’t be part of the ODI set-up. Rohit Sharma’s men set to play West Indies in the three-match ODI series starting on Thursday, July 27 will be without the speedster as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) wants to give the player a good rest before the World Cup and the Asia Cup. The BCCI won’t be naming a replacement and will return to India with Ravichandran Ashwin, Ajinkya Rahane, KS Bharat and Navdeep Saini.</p>

<h2><strong>Siraj to miss ODI series</strong></h2>

<p>The BCCI opted to rest Siraj after the Test series as he was the first-choice bowler after Mohammed Shami. Siraj has been playing consistent cricket in the last few months which has seen him play in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the Test series. He will now take a rest before the Asia Cup which will start at August end while the team prepares for the ODI World Cup.</p>

<p>Siraj scalped seven wickets in the Test series as spearheaded the bowling attack with Jaydev Unadkat, Mukesh Kumar, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ravichandran Ashwin. India won the series 1-0 and started the new World Test Championship (WTC) cycle on a high.</p>

<p>The management now wants Siraj to take a rest before a busy few months as India prepare for the Asia Cup and the World Cup. India will also play Australia in a three-match ODI series before the World Cup begins.</p>

<p>Siraj was part of the Indian team in March when they faced Australia and has been a consistent performer for the side. Since 2022, he is India’s highest wicket-taker in the white ball format.</p>

<p>Siraj will be joined on the plane by Ravichandran Ashwin, who is out of favour for the ODI World Cup. India are likely to axe the 2011 World Cup winner in favour of Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Ravindra Jadeja or Axar Patel.</p>

<p>The Indian team will begin its World Cup campaign on Sunday, October 8 against Australia while they will kick start their Asia Cup campaign against Pakistan on September 2.</p>

<p>India’s Suryakumar Yadav is set for a big six months ahead as he gets ready for the West Indies tour in July and August. Nicknamed ‘SKY’, the Mumbai Indians batter will be an important part of the team as India try to win their first World Cup since 2011. Suryakumar, named in the Indian squad for the upcoming ODI series against West Indies on Friday, will look to capture the global stage, having risen from the domestic circuits of India and the locality of Mumbai.</p>

<h2><strong>Surya’s rise from local cricket</strong></h2>

<p>“Suryakumar Yadav started his career in Parsee Gymkhana. Many times I’ve seen him there, and incidentally, he has won many tournaments and just because of him Parsee Gymkhana has won a number of tournaments,” Noshir Mistry, a local from Mumbai’s Dadar Parsi Colony said while speaking in Mumbai Indians’ series called ‘Mumbai Local’.</p>

<p>Suryakumar Yadav has been in superb nick of form in the last few years which saw him get awarded by ICC as the Best T20 Player for 2021. He has been doing well for his Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise and helped them reach Qualifier 2 before they lost to Gujarat Titans (GT). In the entire IPL season, Surya scored 605 runs in 16 matches that included five fifties and a hundred as he top scored with an unbeaten 103.</p>

<p>Noshir Mistry of Dadar Parsi Colony, who is a part of Wankhede Stadium’s North Stand Gang, has a rather simple take on Mumbai’s cricket culture and saw Surya play in close quarters while he was far from the limelight he has with the Indian Cricket team.</p>

<p>“We have played over all maidans, sometimes you get hit, sometimes the ball will miss you. That was part of the game,” Mistry added.</p>

<p>Interestingly, Suryakumar also got his debut in the Test format earlier this year when he played against Australia in the Nagpur Test. He has so far represented India in 23 ODIs and 48 T20Is and is one of the most decorated players in IPL history. He will next take the field in the West Indies series at the tail end of next month.</p>
