Venkatesh Prasad 'disappointed By How India Is Going About In Tests,' Ashwin Hails SA For Historic Win
Barsapara Cricket Stadium: Former cricketer Venkatesh Prasad did not hold back his criticism after India suffered a crushing 408-run defeat in the second Test against South Africa here at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium on Wednesday. Calling it a "disappointing display of tactics and skills", he expressed deep concern as India endured their biggest-ever loss at home.
The last time India lost two Test series at home across two consecutive years was over four decades ago; against the West Indies (1983) and England (1984/85).
"Really disappointed by how India is going about Test cricket. The all-rounder obsession is absolute brain-fade especially when you don’t bowl them. Rank Poor tactics, poor skills, poor body language and an unprecedented 2-0 series whitewash at home. Hope this does not get washed off with Test matches 9 months away and this negative approach changes," Prasad shared on X.
