Former Australia cricketer and captain, Ian Chappell has stated that India Test team’s new rookie skipper, Virat Kohli‘s strategies on the 1st day of the 4th and final Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) gave the bowlers no opportunity at all.
The Indian bowlers were left ashamed by Australian cricketers as they failed to take a decent number of wickets and were lashed badly enough by the Aussies who put up 348 runs for the loss of 2 wickets at stumps on day one at Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). Stuff.co.nz reported that Virat Kohli’s tactics failed to transpire for India on a wicket that might initiate turning on the third day of the match. The new captain switched fielders around the field in a random manner and there were also bowling changes.
Virat Kohli’s boys obtained little help from the new ball, but they were far from without culpability, with missed catches and agitation is their main problem. Even India’s bowling coach Bharat Arun stated that he would have to talk with Virat to find out what tacticy was there. After tea, the three pacer, Mohammed Shami, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Umesh Yadav were called on for single over spells from the Paddington end as spinner Ravichandran Ashwin held up the other. Ian Chappell stated that this behavior sent out a message of impatience to the bowlers.
Ian Chappell also said that he trusts that contributed to the worst bowling, but also added that he does not understand this sort of avidity, Single-over spells, as that is not providing the bowler An opportunity at all.
Even wounded Australian skipper, Michael Clarke did not understand the strategies, saying that he does not believe that he has a explanation why Virat did that. He also said that he believes in Twenty20 cricket the single-over spells can work so a pummel does not get too used to a specific bowler.
