Gambhir faces questions after dropping Kuldeep Yadav for first ODI
in5points
India left out Kuldeep Yadav for the first ODI against England, drawing criticism.
In the middle overs, Axar Patel and Washington Sundar failed to take wickets, allowing England to recover from 80/5.
Varun Aaron said Jasprit Bumrah cannot be the answer to all problems and India needs a wicket-taking spinner like Kuldeep.
Abhishek Nayar countered that having Bumrah leads to over-reliance on him for breakthroughs.
India's strategy under Gautam Gambhir prioritizes a longer batting lineup, compromising bowling quality.
