Firstpost  

Besides explaining R Ashwin’s selection for the India’s Adelaide Test against Australia, assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate also spoke on Nitish Kumar Reddy’s impactful knock of 42 runs and hailed the youngster’s abilities. Team India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate said that Ravichandran Ashwin was picked over Washington Sundar for the day-night Test at Adelaide as the management felt the veteran spinner would be more effective with the pink ball at the Oval. “Yeah, Washy hasn’t put a foot wrong since he’s come into the fold, halfway through that New Zealand series… I guess the thinking going into the last Test, we wanted to strengthen the batting,” ten Doeschate said at the post-Day 1 press conference. ‘Reddy has a very high ceiling’ ten Doeschate was full of praise for 21-year-old all-rounder Reddy whose impactful knock helped India reach 180.
