On November 4, 2026, former cricketer Murali Kartik questioned selection decisions in the first One-Day International against New Zealand.
Kartik noted the absence of established players Mohammed Siraj and Kuldeep Yadav from India's playing XI.
He questioned the rationale for selecting Gurnoor Brar given his previous expensive outings and highlighted the potential negative psychological impact on players frequently omitted from the team.
