Despite the cash and energy, we now have develop into used to celebrating mediocrity: Venkatesh Prasad slams Team India

Former Indian bowler Venkatesh Prasad lashed out on the Indian staff after their latest loss to the West Indies within the 2nd ODI on Saturday.

“Test cricket aside, India has been very ordinary in the other two formats for quite sometime now.
Lost odi series against ban, SA and Aus. Poor in the last two T20 World Cups. Neither are we an exciting team like England nor brutal like how the Aussies used to be,” he stated in a tweet.

“Despite the money and power, we have become used to celebrating mediocrity and are far from how champion sides are. Every team plays to win and so does India but their approach and attitude is also a factor for underperformance over a period of time,” he added within the following tweet.

Despite the cash and energy, we now have develop into used to celebrating mediocrity and are removed from how champion sides are. Every staff performs to win and so does India however their strategy and angle can be an element for underperformance over a time period.

In the match, the batting audition of India’s World Cup aspirants didn’t go as per plan on a bouncy monitor as West Indies levelled the three-match ODI collection with a snug six-wicket victory, driving on very good bowling efforts from Romario Shepherd and Gudakesh Motie.

Indian staff administration’s choice to relaxation skipper Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli badly backfired as not one of the middle-order batters might address tempo, bounce and switch, getting all-out for 181 in 40.5 overs within the rain-marred second ODI.

In reply, West Indies survived a full of life spell from Shardul Thakur (3/42 in 8 overs) earlier than skipper Shai Hope (63 not out, 80 balls) and younger Keacy Carty (48 not out, 65 balls) added 91 runs for the unbroken fifth wicket to shut the sport in 36.4 overs and break a series of 9 successive bilateral defeats since December, 2019.
