Ravichandran Ashwin questions Kuldeep Yadav's omission from fourth T20I

Ravichandran Ashwin has criticised India's decision to leave Kuldeep Yadav out of the fourth T20I against West Indies in Hyderabad. Ashwin said the choice lacked common sense given that West Indies batters have struggled against the left-arm wrist-spinner's variations throughout the series.

Kuldeep was again omitted despite the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium pitch offering some assistance to spinners. India opted for an extra seamer, with Axar Patel and Naman Dhir providing the spin options as West Indies posted 247 for three.

Ashwin noted that while omitting Kuldeep in Indore was understandable due to the small boundaries, Hyderabad presented different conditions where the wrist-spinner could have made an impact. The series is now level at 2-2 ahead of the final match in Bengaluru.
