Not batting or bowling, because of this Team India had to be embarrassed in England, the biggest weakness came to the fore

New Delhi: Team India is being criticized from all sides for its shameful defeat in the five-match T20 series against England. Team India looked inferior to England throughout the season. Cricket experts are giving different opinions on the disappointing performance of the Indian team, but what former player Cheteshwar Pujara told is surprising.

Pujara believes that the weakness of the middle order, lack of many all-rounders and poor fielding are responsible for India’s disappointing performance on the England tour. England defeated India 4-0 in the five-match series. Earlier, the Indian team had lost both the matches against Ireland.

Team India lost due to lack of all-rounder-Pujara

Pujara told GeoHotstar, “England had batsmen at number five, six, seven and eight who contributed fully. Talking about India, we had Tilak (Verma) at number five and Shivam Dubey at number six, but they did not contribute much like the middle-order batsmen of England. He said, “India also lacks many all-rounders and this is a matter of great concern for them. India’s fielding was also very bad.

Pujara said, “It can be accepted that this is a young team which could not perform as expected in batting and bowling but poor fielding cannot be accepted in any way. The role of fielding is important in the shortest format of the game but India’s fielding remained weak in the entire series and this is a matter of great concern. Let us tell you that Hardik Pandya got injured just before the England tour. Due to this, he also took the field against Afghanistan. In such a situation, Nitish Kumar Reddy got a chance, but he got injured before the team left, due to which Team India missed the all-rounder.
