IND Vs BAN: Team India managed to win the two-match Test series 0-2 against Bangladesh. But after this victory of India, questions are being raised about the batting line. The biggest question is why Akshar Patel was sent to bat before Virat Kohli in the fourth innings of the second test. However, Cheteshwar Pujara, who was the vice-captain of Team India during the series, has removed the veil from this question.
Pujara said that it was the decision of the team management. Pujara said, “The situation had become very difficult on the third day. Bangladesh’s spinners were getting heavy. The situation was such that the team management felt that the left-hander batsman could play the spinner better. That’s why Akshar Patel was sent to bat at number four instead of Virat Kohli."text-align: justify;"However, experts believe that this decision of the team management would have had a bad effect on Virat Kohli. Gavaskar and Jadeja have criticized this decision of the management. Gavaskar said, “Kohli must not have been affected well because of this message. He is the best batsman in the world.”

Gavaskar further said, “If Virat Kohli himself asked to send Akshar to bat first, then he is right.” But if this decision was not his, then it is beyond understanding. We don’t know what happened.
