In the final match of the three-match T20 series against South Africa, the Indian team was defeated by 49 runs. The main reason for this loss was the poor performance of bowling. In this match, in-form spin bowler Axar Patel was given just one more to bowl for India. At the same time, after the loss in the match, at the press conference, the head coach of the Indian team asked Rahul Dravid about the letter, to which Dravid gave a suitable answer.
Indian team head coach Rahul Dravid, responding to Axar Patel’s question about the pitch, said matchups are important and he is important to us. Matchups matter more than supporting pitcher quality alone. It is up to you to examine it thoroughly and see the statistics. Besides us, many teams use matchmaking. We are not the only ones who do this.
Dravid said you should check the matchmaking first. Regarding how many left arm spinners throw to left handed hitters, then maybe you can find your answer in that. I would ask you to see some numbers, there you can get answers to some questions.
Rahul Dravid said: ‘We definitely want to improve in all departments. Especially in bowling the last overs, we have to pay attention. But you also know that bowling on a flat wicket is not easy anywhere. This applies not only to us, but also to other teams. Teams from Australia and South Africa, whose bowlers have good experience, were also seen battling it out on the death passes at these grounds.
