Cricket | Former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar wants the Indian team management to be questioned before the second T20 match to be played in Nagpur, why did they place Umesh Yadav in the playing XI over Deepak Chahar in the first T20 when he was in the T20 World. There is also no part of the reserve players of the cup. Umesh Yadav has been included in the squad as a replacement for Mohammed Shami. Shami was part of the Indian team for the ongoing T20 series against Australia, but before the series started, he came under the grip of the Karona epidemic.Talking to Sports Today, the Little Master said, "I think it would be appropriate to ask the team management what was their thought behind playing Umesh Yadav, who is not even among the reserve players. And why didn't Deepak feed Chahar?He said, “Deepak Chahar is also coming back from injury, but before going into a big tournament like the World Cup, you need match practice. If you take in Deepak Chahar as a standby bowler and suddenly someone gets injured in Australia, he will not be able to perform well because he will not get the momentum.The former captain said, 'So in the next press conference, this is the best question to be asked to the team management, why did they choose Umesh Yadav and not Deepak Chahar. If Chahar is not injured, it is because we don't know about it.Umesh Yadav got the opportunity to bowl two overs in the first T20 where he took two wickets for 27 runs. Umesh was seen playing T20 cricket in blue jersey after more than 3 years. India had to face defeat by 4 wickets in Mohali T20.
