Jasprit Bumrah and Rohit Sharma
The Indian team has suffered a crushing defeat on the Australia tour. After this defeat, Team India is being heavily criticized. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who are struggling with poor form, are being targeted. Meanwhile, a big statement has come from former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif, in which he has slammed the players of Team India. Team India had to face a big defeat in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy played in Australia. Australia defeated Team India 3-1 in the 5-match Test series and captured the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after 10 years. Except for the first Test played in Perth, Team India’s batsmen disappointed a lot in the remaining 4 matches. The reason behind the failure of Team India’s batsmen is being said to be ignoring domestic cricket.
The team will not be able to win
Mohammad Kaif said that on February 23, India will win a lot of applause by defeating Pakistan (in the Champions Trophy) and everyone will say that we are the champion team in white-ball cricket. But if India has to make a team in the World Test Championship, then we will have to make a Test match team and learn to play on seaming tracks. The truth is that we are just white-ball fanatics. We are far behind. If we have to win the WTC, the players will have to play domestic cricket on turning tracks, practice on seaming tracks, otherwise we will not be able to win.
How to become a better player?
Kaif further said that India lost 1-3 and he feels it is a wakeup call, because now all the players have to turn their attention towards Test cricket. It is not only the head coach’s fault. All the players get a chance to play Ranji Trophy, but this makes the players tired and they prefer to rest instead of playing Ranji Trophy. They don’t play Ranji Trophy, they don’t play practice matches, so how will they become better players? It is difficult to play on turning tracks in India and even more difficult to play on seaming tracks in Australia and South Africa. So if you do not practice well, WTC will remain away from you. Whatever happened, happened for good and now Team India needs to work hard in Test cricket.
