Aakash Chopra criticizes India all-rounders Hardik Pandya and Nitish Kumar Reddy

Commentator Aakash Chopra has expressed concern over the fitness of India's seam-bowling all-rounders Hardik Pandya and Nitish Kumar Reddy. After Reddy was ruled out of the upcoming T20I series against Ireland and England due to a left quadriceps injury, Chopra suggested that both players require careful management due to their history of injuries. He highlighted the limited options available to India as they look ahead to the 2027 ODI World Cup, noting that the frequent absences of these players raise significant issues for the team's planning. Suryansh Shedge has been named as Reddy's replacement, which Chopra views as a positive move given the all-rounder's strong domestic performance.
