26 May Shanaka has been disappointing: Virender Sehwag ahead of Qualifier 2 of IPL 2023
Ahead of their do-or-die Qualifier 2 vs Rohit Sharma’s MI, GT will need to sort out some issues. The Titans are one of the strongest teams but some of their weak points were made visible by the Chennai Super Kings. One of the soft points in the squad is Dasun Shanaka, and he once again failed to have an impact against the Super Kings in Qualifier 1, getting dismissed for 17 runs off 16 balls.
The Sri Lankan batter has managed to gather only 26 runs in three matches for the Titans and is expected to be dropped for the upcoming clash. The former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag said that Shanaka should be dropped for Qualifier 2.
Speaking to Cricbuzz, the legendary Indian opener said, “I’m not worried about the bowling too much. But I am worried about Dasun Shanaka, GT can play Odean Smith and Alzarri Joseph for him. Shanaka has been disappointing. We had big hopes from him and he hasn’t lived up to even 1 per cent to those expectations. GT should play Manhor instead of Shanaka, as he is a batter who can smash sixes.”
