Zero intent:After India’s dismal Test series defeat to South Africa, R Ashwin criticizes the batter’s approach, calling it
Zero intent: In the second Test of their current multi-format series against South Africa, Team India suffered a crushing loss. Fans and some professionals have widely criticized the hosts’ performance after they lost both Test matches against the Proteas and were whitewashed in the Test series.
Many came up after their performance to criticize the Indian team’s batting performance. The Indian team suffered a 0–2 defeat at the hands of South Africa since no Indian batsman got a century throughout the two Test matches.
Former India international cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin spoke on the same topic and highlighted batter Sai Sudharsan’s technique.
“There is typically always someone to blame when anything goes wrong. However, I don’t think it’s a good aspect of the team atmosphere. For example, I will want to battle and establish my position if I am aware that there are doubts about it. The fact that there was no battle disappointed me. A player cannot perform well if he lacks confidence. Sai Sudharsan failed to hit any full tosses or short balls for boundaries when Senuran Muthusamy bowled. He was caught at first slip after playing inside the line. There was no defensive purpose. In a video posted on his YouTube account, Ashwin said, “It’s either tactical or technical.”
Ashwin shared his thoughts on how to boost India’s performance.
Ashwin also discussed ways to enhance India’s performance in the game’s longest format. In order to prepare them to face similar challenges on the international stage, he requested that more local players play on training fields.
“A lot of individuals will have their thoughts on how we might better. First-class cricket, in my opinion, has to improve, start using turning wickets, and strengthen its defense against spin. It is necessary to prepare a spin and fast-bowling cupboard. IPL performances are taken into account, but only Test performances need to be taken into account, he said.
