India's win over Pakistan in cricket at the T20 World Cup on Sunday was very creditable. But we have to review the batting which was very inept and the attitude of our batsmen. A cavalier approach during batting will not do. They need to play out the 20 overs allotted to them unless the pitch is very bad. Also seeing Siraj and Arshdeep on the same end of the pitch at the close of the 19th over is laughable particularly with a low score of 118 on the board. By keeping their heads cool if they had played out the last over and got even 5 or 6 runs, it would have been that much more crucial given that at the end India's winning margin was just 6 runs. If it were not for the bowlers particularly Bumrah and Hardik, India was close to the brink in this game. We need to drill into the Indian players that just winning is not important but how you win and what you convey to the competing teams is more important. India needs to play from a position of strength and dominate the game both on the field and in the minds of the opponents.
