La unidad de bolos de la India ha tenido problemas durante el Trofeo Border-Gavaskar, y Umesh Yadav citó la inexperiencia con la bola roja y la falta de influencia local como los principales factores.
Team India had a disappointing show at the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which recently concluded with 3-1 in Australia’s favour. India lost a Test series against Australia after 10 years, ending a decade-long domination in the series. India had a terrible show from the batting side, where no player performed brilliantly, although, leaving Jasprit Bumrah aside, Indian bowling unit also showed a vulnerable display at the Australian pitches. Speaking exclusively to InsideSport, India’s veteran pacer Umesh Yadav, who has played 57 Test for India, sheds a light on what when wrong with the Indian team’s bowling unit in BGT.

Speaking on the India’s bowling unit at the BGT, comprising of Jasprit Bumra, Mohammed Siraj, Akashdeep, Harshit Rana and Prasidh Krishna, Umesh believes that new played have not understood the assignment. “When I began as a Test player, I went on my first away tour to Australia, and we lost the series badly. You think you are the best because you’ve been selected, but playing against top sides makes you realise something’s missing—conditions, situations, and the bowling load.” He said.
Umesh believes that Team usually encounter such situations when the team goes into transition. “Our team has changed this time; new guys came up in the last two series. In Tests, when you make changes, you have to be ready for setbacks and compromise. We had experienced bowlers, but there were also new players. Akashdeep played two matches and had some issues with a niggle.” He added.
Lack of domestic cricket experience turned costly for India
Umesh believes that lack of having less experience with the Red ball, some bowlers were clueless on what to do. “When we played, wickets were often flat, but this time fast bowlers had some help from the pitch. The problem is that confidence, maturity, and the number of matches you play matter; experience makes a difference. We had two great bowlers, but two others were new, and then the fifth bowler, Nitish Reddy, was also inexperienced. New weather and challenges require time.” he stated.
Harshit Rana y Nitish Reddy no jugaron cricket de primera clase para ganar experiencia
Umesh dijo “De repente, cuando juegas una nueva serie internacional en Australia, puedes estar emocionado, pero hay que mantener la calma. A Akashdeep y Harshit Rana de repente les resultó difícil comprender las circunstancias. Akashdeep y Prasidh han jugado al cricket nacional, pero Nitish y Harshit no han jugado al cricket nacional de primera clase. No digo que no tengan talento, pero les falta experiencia con el balón rojo. Jugar regularmente con la pelota roja les ayudará a mejorar”. Sintió que era importante tener experiencia en el cricket de prueba.
La falta de experiencia en los jugadores de bolos le costó cara a BGT
Según Umesh Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah fue el único bateador que realmente obtuvo relevo en la gira. A pesar de tener experiencia, Siraj luchó por conseguir ventanillas, mientras que los otros marcapasos eran nuevos y no tenían idea de cómo sacar provecho. “Bumrah es dominante y siempre piensa en anotar. Estaba bajo presión porque sabía que tenía que liderar la unidad. Siraj también se esforzó mucho; A veces no anotas a pesar de jugar a los bolos de manera brillante. Es difícil cuando el tercer boxeador no tiene experiencia”. – concluyó.
