Player Kevin Peterson termed the inclusion of Varun Chakraborty in the Indian team for a series of three ODIs against England, but also said that the visiting team would perform better against the right -handed spinner in the long format. Chakraborty took 14 wickets in a series of five T20 matches against England and played a key role in India’s 4–1 win. He was then included in India’s ODI team for the series starting in Nagpur from Thursday.
Peterson told the media during an event here, “The England batsmen will perform better against him (Chakraborty) in ODIs as he can spend more time at the crease.” This is a long format, it is not necessary to play a shot on every ball. But I think it is an excellent decision (including Chakravarti). ”Peterson termed England’s defeat in T20 as ‘calamity’ but said that if Shivam Dubey’s place of fast bowler Harshit Rana in place of Harshit Rana (A state -like condition due to head injury) If the subsidy was used, the series in Pune would have become equal.
He said, “This was a disappointing series from England’s perspective. I think if the Convention Substitute was done properly in the fourth T20, England would have won. “Peterson said,” It would have been 2-2 before the match in Wankhede (the last T20 venue). But this did not happen. ”Peterson said that India’s great player Yuvraj Singh is now affecting Abhishek Sharma who played the best T20 innings seen by him.
He said, “Abhishek is fantastic. There was a glimpse of (Yuvraj) in it … Obviously, Yuvraj’s influence is now visible on Abhishek. His batting was fantastic. This was my best T20 international innings seen so far and I later said to him.
