Srikkanth stated that the present Indian Test group is ‘overrated’. He added that it was not the identical case when Virat Kohli was captain.Â

The Indian cricket veterean stated that the group is sticking with overrated cricketers, with out taking anybody’s title. He additionally stated that very deserving gamers like Kuldeepm Yadav haven’t obtained the chance to play Test cricket.
“We have to forget the ICC rankings. We are always 1-2, 1-2. It’s a combination of having overrated cricketers and people who have not performed up to their potential. Or there are players who do not have enough chances, like Kuldeep (Yadav).”
Srikkanth doesn’t cease there. He known as India’s T20I aspect ‘a extremely overrated’ group and that Men in Blue are solely good in ODIs. “In T20 cricket India are highly overrated. ODI cricket, we are a fantastic team. What happens in ODIs, in the semi-finals, finals, it’s just a one-off match. It’s a luck factor, a lot depends on luck in these matches. I read Rohit Sharma’s statement, for a cricketer; the 50-over World Cup is a huge achievement. We are sometimes underperforming in the knockout matches, in the semifinals and the final. But we are a gun side in ODIs. Regardless of where we play, be it India, Australia or South Africa, we are a gun side,” Srikkanth added.
India play the 2nd Test in South Africa after having suffered an enormous lack of an innings and 32 runs in Centurion final month. India have by no means gained a Test collection on South African soil and whereas this file can not get damaged even on this tour, Rohit Sharma and Co will likely be hoping to complete the tour with a Test win.
