India topped the group stage with impressive wins, but experts say there’s more to the story as the Super 8s begin.
Former spinner Ravichandran Ashwin broke down India’s game and pointed out the area that could trouble them in tougher matches ahead
Ashwin said India’s batting hasn’t been “extremely efficient” yet, especially against quality bowling in the middle overs
Critics noted India struggled more against spin in the middle overs, giving bowling attacks an opportunity to tighten the game
Ashwin called Abhishek Sharma’s run of zero scores “surprising” and something the team needs to address moving forward
Despite the concerns, India’s bowling attack remains strong and capable. As the Super 8s start, India must sharpen its batting to go all the way.
