Former chief selector MSK Prasad has raised doubts about Nitish Kumar Reddy's position in Team India. Prasad believes Reddy's skills as a batter and bowler are not strong enough to ensure wins for the team, causing confusion in the playing XI. He suggested prioritizing specialist players like Shubman Gill or another pacer instead of relying on all-rounders.

However, cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar has a different opinion. He argued that Reddy is vital as the fourth seamer and helps maintain the team's balance. Gavaskar said, "Nitish can deliver key breakthroughs and contribute with the bat, making him essential for the Boxing Day Test."

The situation has become more complex after the unexpected retirement of Ravichandran Ashwin. India's spin options now look uncertain, while the management is also considering changes in the batting order. Reports suggest Rohit Sharma might return to the opener's role, moving KL Rahul to No. 3.

With the Border-Gavaskar Trophy tied at 1-1, the upcoming Boxing Day Test in Melbourne is crucial. India's decisions on team selection could make or break their chances in this high-stakes series.
