Bengaluru: After losing the first two matches of the T20 series against the West Indies, former Indian player Venkatesh Prasad criticized the average performance of the Indian team in T20 cricket. Prasad stated that India’s performance against West Indies was only average.
India’s average performance is nothing to rave about. After losing in the first round of the 2007 ODI World Cup, we started the IPL. And even though we have played in seven T20 World Cups, we have reached the final only once. Prasad said that India lacks the passion and desire to win the game.
Prasad also criticized Hardik’s tactics in the second T20 against West Indies. After taking two wickets in the 16th over, Yuzvendra Chahal did not give an over to Chahal. It was Chahal’s over that brought India back into the match. However, Prasad said that he did not understand Hardik’s strategy of throwing pacers without introducing Chahal when the ninth and tenth batsmen were at the crease and the pacers were easily handled by the West Indies.

After losing the first T20 against West Indies in the second T20, Hardik’s captaincy is also being questioned. Even in the first match, Chahal bowled well but did not complete the quota of four overs. Batting first in the second match yesterday, India scored 152 runs for the loss of seven wickets in 20 overs while West Indies reached the target in 18.5 overs with the loss of eight wickets.
