Sanjay Manjrekar's target on Team India

Sanjay Manjrekar Posted on social media and wrote that thanks to South Africa because it told what Team India has to do in the upcoming matches. Sanjay Manjrekar said, 'Thanks to South Africa, because of him we knew what Team India has to do next. Batsmen will have to play with good technique against spinners. There should be more practice of slower balls in throw down practice and Kuldeep Yadav should definitely be given a chance.

Indian batsmen trapped in the trap of spin and slower

Team India lost the match against South Africa by 76 runs. The main reason for this defeat was the poor performance of Team India's batsmen against spinners and slower balls. Ishan Kishan was out on the ball of off-spinner Aiden Markram, he could not even open the account. Abhishek Sharma was out after scoring 15 runs on a slower ball from Marco Janson. Tilak Verma could score only 1 run. Suryakumar Yadav scored only 18 runs. Keshav Maharaj took 3 wickets. Yanson took 4 wickets. Corbin Bosch also took 2 wickets.

Thanks to SA we now know what Ind needs to do next.
1) Get batters with soft skills against spin to bat up the order.
2) Guy doing throw downs to throw a million slower balls at Indian batters.
3) Kuldeep must play to have another wicket taking option.

out on 0 11 times

The big problem for Team India is that the players of the Indian team have been out on zero 11 times in this T20 World Cup. This is the highest in the current T20 World Cup. By the way, the record of 13 ducks in a single tournament is held by the batsmen of Bangladesh and it seems that the batsmen of Team India can make this record in their name this time.
