Summary
- Ravi Shastri criticized India's batting order in the second Test.
- Washington Sundar's batting position change drew Shastri's ire.
- India's first innings batting collapsed for 201 runs.

Ravi Shastri has voiced strong criticism regarding India's batting strategy and selection in the recent Test match against South Africa. He highlighted significant confusion in the team's planning, particularly concerning the batting order.
Shastri specifically questioned the decision to promote Washington Sundar to number three in one Test, only to drop him to number eight in the next. He argued that such inconsistencies make little sense and will likely lead to retrospective puzzlement when the series is reviewed. The former coach pointed out that a specialist batter could have been chosen over extra spinners in a previous match.
