‘India struggled to win a single game with the best side; how did we get here?’

The cricket fraternity was shocked but even more disappointed by India’s double-match losing streak in South Africa. The South Asian giants, who dominate the three formats, are expected to dominate the relatively young and inexperienced Proteas squad. However, reality did not quite match expectations and Aakash Chopra could not fully believe what happened when he reacted to the development.

“Last year, during India’s visit to Sri Lanka, the overwhelming idea was that India could field both teams and still win. Eight months later, India is in a series against the best team (minus Rohit) Trying to win a game. How did we get here?” tweeted the former India opener while expressing disappointment. Meanwhile, the cricketer-turned-commentator also spoke about India’s mid-level woes. He said Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer were still very inconsistent in their order of play, with most batsmen not taking advantage of the opportunities offered to them. 4, Ayer 5, whether you’re playing Ayer or Surya Kumar at the 6 — I mean it’s not ready yet. You get opportunities, but you don’t take them. “

“I wasn’t that picky in the first game, but I’m picky here because you have a chance and you should play well, and the second game as well – you can’t take advantage,” he said.

A trip to India and a trip to South Africa was unforgettable. After winning Centurion’s first Test, they lost the next two to trail 2-1. In the ODI series, the KL Rahul-led team swept 3-0 in the absence of Rohit Sharma.

India are still winless in 2022 and will next host West Indies in the white ball series.
