Indian batting in both innings was bundled out within 81 overs as a whole in the second Test in Adelaide. The side managed 180 in the first innings after opting to bat first and 175 in the second innings. Indian cricketer Cheteshwar Pujara would suggest replacing R Ashwin with Washington Sundar for the third Test in Gabba to extend the batting order.
“I feel only change might happen. Since the batting wasn’t good, Washington Sundar can come in place of R Ashwin,” Pujara said on Star Sports. Ashwin played a cameo in the first innings but could not contribute much in the second innings of the Adelaide Test. Sundar who played in the first Test at Perth chipped in with a gritty 29 in the second innings and fell for a low score in the first.
