Selection of Hanuma Vihari over Karun Nair is hard to explain

Deccan Chronicle  

India’s bowlers, as they have been right through the series, were brilliant again on the opening day of the final Test. The selection of Hanuma Vihari over Karun Nair to replace Hardik Pandya and the injury status of R. Ashwin, who was left out in favour of Ravindra Jadeja, became the subject of massive debate with former players, media and fans taking contrasting positions. Nair not only has a Test triple century to his name, but was also part of the original squad, which means he was preferred to Vihari, but now finds himself out in the cold. What would be interesting to know is whether Rahul Dravid, who is coach of the Indian A team and has seen both Nair and Vihari at close quarters, provided inputs which could have influenced the team management’s choice in picking the side for the Oval Test. While Kapil Dev remains head and shoulders above everybody else as India’s best pace bowler still — and with no offence to stalwarts like Zaheer Khan, Srinath, Venky Prasad, et all — Ishant, Bumrah, Shami, Bhuvaneshwar and Umesh arguably make for the best fast bowling attack India’s ever had.
