India are engaged in a five-match Test series with England and currently lags behind the series 2–1 after winning the commanding victory at Lord’s. Now, to win the series, India will have to play the next two matches with Perfect 11.
With the next test starting on July 23 in Manchester, a major question has been raised on the form of Indian all -rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy. All -rounder has not been the best, as he recorded his first presence in England during the second Test in Edgbaston.
With a string of low score and some inconsistent bowling data in Edgbaston, he did better outing in Lord’s, but was not very useful. Nitish Kumar Reddy has been included in 11 to strengthen India’s lower order batting; However, they have a shortage of form and have scored only 2 singles scores, 30 and 13 in Lords, 30 and 13 runs.

Harbhajan Singh suggests that Nitish Kumar Reddy in place of Kuldeep Yadav
Talking to India today, former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh suggested that head coach Gautam Gambhir should consider replacing Nitish Kumar Reddy with Kuldeep Yadav.
“I had also said for the Lord’s Test and for the Birmingham Test that Kuldeep should play. Due to free-fling batting, it is not so easy for him. If such a spinner rotates on both sides, he can become a mystery bowler and take wickets in the cross time.”
“In Test cricket, it’s not just that they are waiting for a new ball. Let some overs bowl. If much is not happening, Kuldeep Yadav can take wickets. If it was my team, I should take Nitish directly into the team and bring it directly into the team in the team.”

Harbhajan Singh suggested ‘split-cooking’ for India
In the same talk with the news channel, former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh suggested that Indian management should consider giving two different persons to give the role of two coaches of Indian White-Ball and Indian Red-Ball teams.
He suggested that, despite the amount of success of Gautam Gambhir, in white ball formats, the coach has not achieved a similar amount of success in the longest format of the game.
“I think if it can be implemented, nothing is wrong with it. You have separate teams and separate players for formats. If we can do it, it is a good option. It will reduce the workload for all including the coach. So if it can happen, it is not a bad option,” the former spinner said.
