Former fast bowler Zaheer Khan said he was surprised to see the team management tinkering with their batting order in the third ODI series decider against Australia.
Dravid has come under sharp attack from former players for changing batting slots of the players. Zaheer added that there was no need to make changes when the team was off to an impressive start in the run-chase.
“India had a good start with Mitchell Starc failing to take wickets. But the batting order change was shocking. It was like changing things unnecessarily,” he said on Cricbuzz.
“You should trust your batters. Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill batted beautifully, and Virat Kohli contributed with the bat. But the change in the batting order must be looked at again, especially in crucial matches going forward.”
