Former Indian cricketer Saba Karim believes that the T20 game is developing rapidly. It’s encouraging to see captain Rohit Sharma and the team’s management adopt different strategies and play with an aggressive mentality in the last few series. Saba Karim said on Wednesday: “The T20 game is evolving and we need to adapt to the format. So, I think keeping that in mind, the Indian team management, especially the captain, has a different role. It’s a good idea to have different combinations.” .
“The way they have played T20 cricket in the last couple of games, it is wonderful to see Rohit Sharma’s team play like that,” he said.
India’s batting faltered during the second T20 in St Kitts, with starters Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav scoring 0 and 11 respectively, while Shreyas Iyer was also ruled out for 10, leaving the away team with 138 runs. The West Indies then won by five wickets. He leveled the series at 1-1.
Saba Karim said: “So if you lose 3-4 wickets on the power play, it becomes difficult for you to hold it. You get to know what the power play of a particular T20 match is. That is the need of the day. In Consequently, you improve your game.
The former goalkeeper-batsman also spoke about how Indian batsmen are struggling against the left arm rhythm attack.
He said: “It’s been a problem with the Indian batsmen and that’s why I think internationally everyone needs to work on their plans. But to do that, one has to accept that the top-order or middle-order Indian batsmen the batsmen they have trouble fast bowling with their left arm.
