Former India opener thinks there’s still one important issue India must fix before playing stronger teams, or it could become a problem in big matches.
He praised the team’s performance but said India’s fielding wasn’t good enough for a No.1 T20I side.
He said India’s fielding was disappointing with too many dropped catches and missed chances. This was also a problem in the England series, where mistakes proved costly. He feels India must improve fielding, as these errors could hurt more against stronger teams.
India missed some key catches and run-outs. Jaffer thinks these mistakes can shift the momentum of a match.
Zimbabwe didn’t take full advantage of India’s mistakes, but stronger teams like Australia, England, or South Africa won’t miss those chances.
India has a lot to celebrate, but Jaffer thinks now is the best time to fix fielding issues before a big ICC tournament.
India dominated Zimbabwe, but Jaffer says better fielding will make the team even stronger for the Asia Cup and T20 World Cup.
