It's better to give them harsh truth: Murali Kartik on India benching Sooryavanshi. Ex-India cricketer Murali Kartik praised India head coach Gautam Gambhir and India T20I skipper Shreyas Iyer for benching Vaibhav Sooryavanshi against West Indies. Drawing parallel with Yashasvi Jaiswal's treatment in white-ball cricket, he said team changes can't be made "just for the sake of it". "It's better to give [them harsh truth], because you take it on chin," he noted.
