“There won’t be any change in my opinion” – Aakash Chopra’s thoughts on India’s lineup for the 2023 World Cup match against Bangladesh

Former Indian opener Aakash Chopra provided a pre-match analysis for the India vs. Bangladesh game in a video posted on his YouTube channel. He expressed his belief that the home team would maintain their current playing XI, favoring Shardul Thakur over Ravichandran Ashwin and Mohammed Shami.

Chopra said:

“Will India make a change? I don’t think they will make a change because according to me there is no chance at all to play an extra spinner here. Why would you play Ravichandran Ashwin here?”

“The spinners don’t work here in the IPL and this is a World Cup match. Why would you play another spinner against a subcontinental team? So there won’t be any change in my opinion.”

He continued:

“You can repeatedly discuss the scope for one change, whether Shami can play in place of Shardul, but that is also not going to happen, because India won’t do that. India need a batter at No. 8. It doesn’t matter whether you or I like it or not.”
