‘They need to work hard and get their A-game on the field when they step out said former Head Coach Shastri.
Former India head coach Ravi Shastri believes the current Indian side, which has been selected for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022, is the best that he has ever seen.
Shastri was the part of the coaching setup in last year’s World Cup but Unfortunately, India failed to qualify for the knockout stage last year.
“I have been part of the system for the last six-seven years, first as a coach and now I am watching from the outside, and I think this is as good a line-up as India has ever had in T20 cricket. With Surya at No.4, Hardik at No.5, and Rishabh Pant or Dinesh Karthik at No.6 it makes a massive difference as it allows the top order to play the way they are playing,” Shastri declared during an event at the Mumbai Press Club.
One area that India will have to pick up and start right from the beginning is fielding: Shastri
“One area that India will have to pick up and start right from the beginning is fielding. They need to work hard and get their A-game on the field when they step out (in the first game) against Pakistan. Those 15-20 runs that you save can make all the difference because otherwise every time you get out to bat, you need to get 15-20 runs extra,” Shastri added.
Team India will open their T20 World Cup 2022 campaign on October 23 against arch-rivals Pakistan.
