Former India captain Krishnamachari Srikkanth says selectors must “take a tough call” regarding Abhishek Sharma after what he describes as the batter’s poor form in T20 internationals. Both sources report Srikkanth’s criticism of Sharma’s recent performance and his view that the selection panel has to decide whether the player should continue in the side. At the same time, the coverage points to positive developments for India’s pace bowling. Mayank Yadav is reported to have returned from injury and to have impressed with his bowling during the series, taking multiple wickets and maintaining consistent pace. The articles also frame the recent performances as part of a wider emergence of younger talent in the Indian team, with attention on both the pressure on underperforming players and the impact of players returning to form after injury.
