Cheteshwar Pujara predicts R Ashwin snub for 3rd BGT Test, makes passionate case for young IND star to play at the Gabba

Hindustan Times  

Cheteshwar Pujara has said that India should give Harshit Rana another chance and said that the change they could make ahead of the 3rd Test against Australia at the Gabba could be to bring back Washington Sundar in place of Ravichandran Ashwin. India's batting fell flat in the second Test at Adelaide which they lost by 10 wickets while the only fast bowler who was consistently threatening was Jasprit Bumrah, despite Mohammed Siraj taking four wickets in the first innings. Ravichandran Ashwin had scored a counter-attacking 22 in the first Indian innings in the pink-ball Test Rana in particularly went wicketless and conceded 86 runs in the Australian first innings. Probably the only change for me would be Sundar for Ashwin if the team feels the batting lineup needs strengthening.” Meanwhile, Ravichandran Ashwin sat out the first Test for Washington Sundar.
