Did Team India lose due to lack of all-rounders in T20 World Cup? Learn shocking facts
T20 WC 2021: After the Indian team was out of the T20 World Cup (T20 WC), there is a constant discussion about the shortcomings of the team. All the veterans are expressing their opinion about this. In fact, Team India had a disappointing performance against Pakistan and New Zealand in the first two matches of the World Cup, due to which the team could not reach the semi-finals and was eliminated from the tournament. During this tournament in the team, the lack of strong all-rounders was felt the most. Let us look at some such important things.
Hardik Pandya’s fitness was under question, Shardul also flopped
Against Pakistan, Team India entered the field with only one all-rounder Hardik Pandya. However, due to fitness, Hardik did not bowl in this match. Shardul Thakur got a chance against New Zealand, but he also did not look in good rhythm. The team did not even have an option other than these. Somewhere against these strong teams, India lacked all-rounders and the team lost matches.
Ravi Shastri said big thing about all-rounders
The outgoing coach of the Indian cricket team, Ravi Shastri, has also expressed his opinion about the lack of all-rounders in the team. They want to have “few players” in the top six who can perform as per the requirement of the team to give them more options in the shortest format of the game after Hardik Pandya. India’s over-reliance on Pandya’s ‘all-round’ ability was one of the reasons for India’s defeat.
Asked if he saw a place for some all-rounders in the team after Pandya’s flop show, Shastri said, “I think it always helps when you have one or two players in the top order, who Can bowl. We have always had that in the past.”
Shastri said, “Unfortunately we don’t have a lot of options now. So that could be the way to make sure that you have some guys in the top six who can bowl their all-round performance. Even if there is a gap between them.” Four overs, he will help.”
