Lack Of Communication, Rush Of Blood Led To India’s Loss To SA In Kolkata, Says Amit Mishra
Amit Mishra: Former India leg-spinner Amit Mishra said the team’s 30-run loss to South Africa in the opening Test at Eden Gardens was down to poor communication and inadequate guidance for the young batting unit, adding that a rush of blood in critical moments with the bat also hurt them.
India were bundled out for 93 while chasing 124 for victory, as the opening Test concluded inside three days on a challenging two-paced pitch where the ball had uneven bounce from the word go. None of the teams managed to post 200, with South Africa captain Temba Bavuma's unbeaten 55 being the highest individual score of the match.
"I feel there was a lack of communication and we had to tell the players how to bat on a wicket like that. I mean, we have to guide them well. There were a few young players as well and I think there was a huge lack of experience in this team. So because of that lack of experience, you have to talk to the players. I think that was the biggest reason because a huge thing for a young player is that there is a lot of rush of blood while batting. So you have to talk to them and guide them well," Mishra said in an exclusive conversation with IANS on Monday.
