Nitish Reddy Under Scrutiny for Wasted Opportunities; Rohit Sharma 'Short on Cricket'

• Indian assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate criticized all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy for not capitalizing on opportunities, stating he "often ended up not doing a heck of a lot."
• Reddy, the sole change in India's playing XI for the second ODI against New Zealand in Rajkot, failed to perform with both bat (20 runs) and ball (wicketless in two overs) as India lost by seven wickets.
• Ten Doeschate suggested that Reddy missed a "perfect chance" to solidify his selection case by spending 15 overs at the wicket, especially given the match situation.
• The coach admitted that, in hindsight, India might have preferred a third spinner over Reddy, noting New Zealand's spinners exploited conditions effectively.
• Ten Doeschate also commented on Rohit Sharma, stating he is "short on cricket" despite playing Vijay Hazare Trophy matches, and discussed KL Rahul's potential at No. 5 and Ravindra Jadeja's recent form.

Why It Matters: Nitish Reddy faces criticism for not seizing opportunities, while Rohit Sharma's match fitness is questioned.
