Chopra Slams Gambhir, Selectors Over Nitish Reddy's Handling: Are They Aligned?

  • Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra questioned the handling of young all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy by the Indian team management and selectors.
  • Chopra highlighted that Reddy is selected across formats but receives insufficient opportunities and is underutilized even when in the playing XI.
  • He questioned if selectors (Ajit Agarkar) and team management (Shubman Gill, Gautam Gambhir) have differing views on Reddy's role.
  • Chopra suggested Reddy should play domestic cricket to stay match-ready if not given regular chances in the national team.
  • Reddy's form dipped after Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, but he performed well in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and Vijay Hazare Trophy.

Why It Matters: Aakash Chopra criticizes Indian team management and selectors for mismanaging Nitish Reddy's career.
