New Delhi. The troubles of the Indian cricket team, which suffered a historic defeat from New Zealand, are not showing any signs of abating. Firstly, big names of India are not playing against New Zealand. There is a problem of keeping the players who are performing in the playing eleven. Captain Rohit Sharma is once again going to face such a 'trouble', which will not be easy for him to deal with. It is a problem or difficulty to choose between Ravichandran Ashwin and Washington Sundar.
The third and last Test match of the 3-match series between India and New Zealand is to be played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai from November 1. Wankhede pitch is one of the few pitches in India on which fast bowlers have equal opportunities. The weather there is also relatively favorable for fast bowling. In such a situation, the Indian team might want to change its playing combination.

The Indian team entered the Pune Test with three spinners and two fast bowlers. It is believed that the Indian team can field three fast bowlers in Mumbai. If this happens, then Indian captain Rohit Sharma will have to drop one of the spinners Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar from the playing eleven. Both Ashwin and Sundar are off spinners. In such a situation, the seat of left arm spinner Jadeja seems safe.
Now Rohit Sharma is facing the same situation as before the Pune Test. In the Pune Test, the Indian management had the option of choosing between senior KL Rahul and century-winning young Sarfaraz Khan. The team chose Sarfaraz. However, this ploy did not work. Now there may be a need to give rest to one of the young Washington Sundar, who took 11 wickets in the Mumbai Test, and the veteran Ravichandran Ashwin, who took 5 wickets. It is not going to be at all easy for captain Rohit Sharma to take a decision in this regard. Let's see what decision Rohit takes.
