During the commentary, he pointed out that the team needs drastic changes to be the top end moving forward.
Ravi Shastri says ” Where is the X-FACTOR?”
During the live commentary on air in the first T20 Shastri says ” If you look at the top Indian team over the year. There is Youth as well as experience. I find the youth missing here and so is the fielding. If you look at the last 5 to 6 years of fielding wise. I think the team has no match to any of the top sides. When it comes to fielding and it has hit badly in the big tournaments. It means that as a batting side you have to get 15 to 20 Runs game after game. Because if you look around the field where is brilliant? There is no Jadeja, where is that x factor?
Furthermore, he says ” What is disappointing today was that standard of fielding. I mean it looks sloppy and I think you need a big up when it comes to fielding. If you have to beat the big sides in the big competitions like the T20 World Cup. You need to improve your feeling.
The former Indian coach Ravi Shastri believes that if you wish to win ICC tournaments the team needs to turn things around.
