BGT 2024-25: Gavaskar Backs Nitish Reddy As India Ponder Bold Changes For Boxing Day Test
Nitish Kumar Reddy: As the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy reaches a critical juncture with the series tied 1-1, Team India faces significant selection dilemmas ahead of the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). The aftermath of the third Test at the Gabba, which ended in a hard-fought draw, has triggered a wave of planned and speculative changes, with legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar weighing in on the decisions the Indian team management must make.
The most significant shift came with the sudden retirement of Ravichandran Ashwin, one of India’s greatest all-rounders, immediately after the third Test at Gabba in Brisbane. Ashwin’s absence has left a massive void in the squad, both in terms of his tactical nous and his unmatched skill as a spinner.
Rookie off-spinning all-rounder Tanush Kotian has been named as Ashwin’s replacement, marking a new chapter for India’s spin department.
