Srikkanth expressed concern that this decision could harm Kuldeep's confidence, despite the team's subsequent win in the third match. He also questioned India's middle-order batting and the West Indies' bowling strength, highlighting the development of young pacers Mayank and Prince Yadav as positive aspects amid mixed team performances in the series.
