Avoid playing loose shots – Losing wickets while playing loose shots is one thing which the Indian players have inherited from the former players. In every match we see one or two players getting out playing loose shots. In the first Test as well, we saw Dhawan and Pujara getting out in an ugly manner. Dhawan was trying to sweep the ball placed on middle stump, he missed it and got out as he was found blocking the balls to its way to the stumps and was declared LBW. He could have easily blocked that ball and went on to score a century. He stated regret over this after the match and was sad on missing out on a century.
The case of Pujara is different totally different as totally out of the blue he decided to attack the short ball from Bishoo. He looked to pull it but instead the ball took an edge and he was caught. Surely this is a serious matter of concern for Indian team and Pujara as he has not been in best of the form in past little time. He may see himself being dropped if he fails to perform now.
