Parthiv Patel criticized Hardik Pandya
The performance of the Indian team batsmen in the third T20 match played against England in Rajkot was very disappointing. From the 9th over to the 16th over, the batsmen of the Indian team could score only 40 runs. Meanwhile, Hardik Pandya ruined several balls on the field, which increased the net run rate along with pressure on the team. Hardik scored 40 runs in 35 balls with the help of 1 fours and 2 sixes. In such a situation, his innings unhappy with his innings, Parthiv Patel has criticized him on Star Sports.
Parthiv Patel said that no player can take 20-25 balls to be set in T20 International. I think you need time to set, but you should rotate your strike. Hardik may have scored 40 runs off 35 balls, but in the early stages of the innings, he played a lot of dots.
Kevin Pietersen is unhappy with coach Gautam Gambhir’s decision
Former England captain Kevin Peterson is unhappy with India’s batting order. Questioning the decision of coach Gautam Gambhir, he said that Gambhir should have sent Dhruv Jurlel to bat at number 8 instead of batting above. Kevin said,
The Indian team did not make the batting order correct. Dhruv Jurael is an experienced batsman. It was not appropriate to keep it in the following order for left and right combination. I believe that your best batsmen should bat first.
