'It's going to be a problem in white-ball cricket' - Aakash Chopra shares views on India's playing XI for IND vs WI 2026 3rd T20I

During the third encounter of the series between India and the West Indies, analyst Aakash Chopra discussed the squad selection and composition choices made by the team management. The playing lineup included Arshdeep Singh, Prince Yadav, and Mayank Yadav as specialist pace options alongside spinner Axar Patel, which ultimately led to wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav missing out on selection.

Chopra pointed out that relying on a pace attack lacking lower-order batting capability creates structural issues for white-ball squads. Because none of the frontline fast bowlers could comfortably bat at number eight, the team could not accommodate additional bowling variations, though the addition of Prince Yadav did provide specific death-overs capability with yorkers and reverse swing.
