"Don't dismiss": Auqib Nabi receives backing ahead of India vs West Indies 3rd ODI

Following a difficult debut performance on a placid pitch at the Barsapara cricket stadium during the second match of the series, fast bowler Auqib Nabi has received endorsement from former international player Aakash Chopra regarding selection for the upcoming fixture. During the previous encounter, both competing squads surpassed the four-hundred-run threshold, resulting in expensive figures for the debutant without any wickets captured before India successfully pursued the target to secure an eight-wicket triumph.

Although the pacer conceded eighty-four runs across nearly nine overs on the unhelpful surface, analyst Chopra noted that his batting utility at the lower order and the dead-rubber status of the final fixture in New Chandigarh justify offering him another opportunity in the playing XI.
