After India lost the third ODI to New Zealand, former India cricketer Kris Srikkanth said India all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy shouldn't have been given a long spell. He added that Ravindra Jadeja should've bowled before Reddy as he would have "exploited some footholes". "Reddy [had] that ideal pace and was easy to negotiate for [New Zealand batters]," Srikkanth remarked.
