Unfair To Blame Batters For Series Loss To Ireland, Conditions Will Be Better In England: Rayudu
Sony Sports Network: Former India batter Ambati Rayudu on Monday said it would be ‘very unfair’ to blame the batters for the side suffering a shock 2-0 T20I series defeat to Ireland, asserting that conditions will get considerably better once the team moves to the UK for the upcoming five-game series against England starting on July 1 in Durham.
In both games in Stormont, Belfast, India's top order of Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan crumbled against the new ball, especially when swing was on offer on pitches aiding bowlers. With left-arm pacer Jai Moondra wreaking havoc in both games, it served as a stark reminder of India’s perennial struggles against left-arm fast bowling, particularly when pitches were vastly different from the batting-friendly tracks witnessed during IPL 2026.
"I wouldn't really read much into it because once they go to UK, they'll encounter slightly better conditions to bat, especially also, they'll be used to the conditions by then. So, it is very, very tough on them and we don't really get wickets like that in India as well to prepare before going to a series like this. So, it'll be very, very unfair to put all the blame on the batters," Rayudu said while replying to a question from IANS in a virtual group interaction facilitated by Sony Sports Network.
