'Take a tough call': Ex-India captain wants Abhishek axed, backs Samson's return

Krishnamachari Srikkanth urged selectors to take a tough call on Abhishek Sharma due to his poor T20I form, with no double-digit scores in the Zimbabwe series and six consecutive innings below 20.

Srikkanth backed Sanju Samson's return to the Indian T20I setup, noting Samson was left out of the Zimbabwe series despite being Player of the Tournament in the T20 World Cup.

Mayank Yadav returned from injury and impressed with two wickets in the first T20I and a three-wicket haul in the final match against Zimbabwe.

Srikkanth praised Mayank Yadav's consistency and urged the team management to continue investing in young talent, citing the bowler's fitness across all three matches.
