AUS vs IND: Pujara highlights India's bowling weakness after R Ashwin's retirement

India Today  

Former India cricketer Cheteshwar Pujara has expressed concerns about India’s bowling setup in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy, a challenge further intensified by the unexpected retirement of veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin. Pujara highlighted that the team now faces a dilemma in fielding a balanced bowling attack, especially in the spin department, which has been significantly impacted by Ashwin’s absence. Pujara, in an interview with Star Sports, emphasised how Ashwin’s exit complicates India’s bowling strategy, making it difficult for the team to tweak their lineup effectively. In the Perth Test, the team deployed Washington Sundar as their primary spinner alongside pacers Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Harshit Rana, with Reddy providing part-time overs.
