2nd ODI: India Batters Are A Little Bit Worried About Playing The Short Ball, Says Bopara
On BBC Radio: Former England all-rounder Ravi Bopara believes Indian batters have started to look ‘a little bit worried’ about tackling the short ball on English wickets, following them being bowled out for 233 in the second ODI at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff on Thursday.
Throughout India’s innings, a majority of their batters struggled to play the short balls and were dismissed because of it, as England’s pacers took nine wickets collectively. "It’s almost like every time an Indian batsman falls to the short ball, a signal is sent to the dressing room, and they get worried about the short ball.
“You get a lot of indifference in pace and bounce on English wickets. It just looks like India are a little bit worried about the short ball at the moment," Bopara said to broadcasters Sky Sports during the mid-innings break.
