India Were Pretty Ordinary, Could Have Been More Positive In Their Batting Approach, Says Kumble
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Former India captain Anil Kumble said the hosts’ were pretty ordinary and that they could have shown more positivity in their batting approach after losing the opening Test to England by 28 runs at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
Tasked with chasing down 231, India’s batters didn’t show any proactiveness with the bat and were bowled out for 202, despite some late defiance from Ravichandran Ashwin and KS Bharat. Majority of their batters fell to tame dismissals and played largely from the crease o a turning pitch as India were unable to shake off the pressure put on them by England, with debutant left-arm spinner Tom Hartley taking superb figures of 7-62.
“England were brilliant over the last two days. India were pretty ordinary. In the field, you could see that heads were dropping down while fielding. But credit to England, the way they batted, the way they came and bowled.”
