Wasim Jaffer thinks Team India badly missed one player, and his absence may have led to the series loss.
Jaffer also said that the 23-year-old Suryansh Shedge is talented but not yet ready to bowl three or four overs regularly at the international level.
Jaffer said Hardik can bowl three overs and finish games, which is something India is missing. Suryansh and Nitish aren’t ready to bowl 3-4 overs yet, so fast bowlers and batters need to step up in Hardik’s absence.
Jaffer also said Harshit has improved with both bat and ball and can be trusted at number eight or nine. Prince also made good use of his chance, but overall, the team’s batting has not performed well.
England will be a tougher challenge, especially with no Bumrah or Hardik. Others need to step up. He hopes India improves after this wake-up call.
India’s young all-rounders show promise, but Jaffer says experience sets proven match-winners apart.
With England next, all eyes are on whether India’s young all-rounders can step up or if Hardik Pandya’s absence will still be a big factor.
