Indian cricket team coach Ravi Shastri has expressed his opinion on the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) selectors’ decision to recall Ajinkya Rahane for the upcoming World Test Championship (WTC) final.
Shastri called the decision “bold and brave,” saying that Rahane’s experience and leadership would be valuable for the team in the high-pressure match against New Zealand. He also praised Rahane’s performance in the recent Indian Premier League (IPL) tournament, where he captained the Delhi Capitals to the final.
The decision to recall Rahane has been a topic of debate among cricket fans and experts, with some questioning his recent form and calling for younger players to be given a chance. However, Shastri defended the selectors’ decision, saying that Rahane’s experience would be crucial in the big match.
