India’s loss in the World Test Championship last has given rise to criticism of the Men in Blue from many cricket pundits. Rohit Sharma‘s males suffered a 209-run drubbing at the arms of Australia after they had been folded out for 234 in the chase of 444 at The Oval. Meanwhile, as the criticism continues to maintain hitting the Men in Blue, a West Indies Legend has made a blunt statement for the group. While chatting with Mid-Day, Windies nice Andy Roberts has acknowledged that vanity has crept into the Indian group they usually underestimate the others.
“There is this arrogance which has crept into Indian cricket and through this, India have underestimated the rest of the world. India must decide what their focus is Test cricket or limited overs cricket. T20 cricket will run its course. There is no contest between bat and ball there,” Roberts stated as quoted by Mid-Day.
Roberts noticed no vivid spot in India in last
Meanwhile, Roberts additional acknowledged that he noticed no vivid spot in India’s recreation in the WTC Final. “I expected India to show their batting strength. I saw no bright spot in the final although Ajinkya Rahane fought hard; got hit on his hand. Shubman Gill looks good when he plays those shots, but he stands on the leg stump and is often dismissed bowled or caught behind. He has good hands, but he must get behind the ball. Virat Kohli, though, got a brute of a delivery from Mitchell Starc in the first innings. India have some very good players mind you, but they have not performed creditably away from home,” Roberts added.
Meanwhile, the former Windies bowler anticipated the Indian group to break down in the last. “I harbored no such hopes. I knew they would collapse. The batting in both innings was bad,” he added.
