India was brutally knocked out of the semi-finals by England. England handed a 10-wicket defeat to India. Fans and critics from all around the country are not pleased with India’s performance. Every countryman has come out openly and criticized the Indian players.
The latest to join the mass is Indian skipper, Rohit Sharma ‘s childhood coach, Dinesh Lad. He vocally expressed his displeasure. Moreover, he even went on the criticize the skipper, Rohit Sharma, for taking constant rests in international matches.
“We are not a stable team,” Dinesh Lad not happy with the team combination
Rohit Sharma’s childhood coach, Dinesh Lad, gave SportsKeeda an exclusive interview. He said that India had looked like an unstable team for the past several months. That, he believes, should not be the case for a team preparing for a world cup.
“I thought, maybe, in the last seven-eight months, we are not a stable team. If we are preparing for the World Cup, it should be an established team. In the last seven months, somebody is coming to open the innings, somebody is coming to bowl, there is no stability,”
“Don’t play the IPL if you want to win the World Cup,” Lad criticizes senior players including Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma ‘s childhood coach further went on to criticize the senior players for missing out on too many international matches. He feels that workload management is just an excuse. If at all they want to reduce the workload, skip the IPL.
“I don’t think so workload management is the reason. Everybody in the world is playing because they are professionals, not a workload you can say. Why are they playing in the IPL? Don’t play the IPL if you want to win the World Cup. In actual professional grades, they should play every international game because we are getting something from that. It’s not an honorary job and there should be no compromise in international cricket.”
