Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali has criticized the Indian cricket team for their overconfidence following their dominant win over Bangladesh. The Indian team suffered a humiliating 2-0 series defeat against New Zealand, raising concerns about their form ahead of the crucial World Test Championship (WTC) cycle.
Ali believes that India’s complacency after the easy victory against Bangladesh led to their downfall against New Zealand. He highlighted the team’s struggles against both pace and spin bowling, suggesting a lack of adaptability and preparation.
“India’s batting was exposed in both Tests. They failed against both pace and spin. The team seemed overconfident after the easy win against Bangladesh,” Ali said in a YouTube video.
With the defeat, India’s chances of qualifying for the WTC final have been significantly diminished. They now face a challenging task of winning at least four of their remaining six Test matches to secure a spot in the final.
The upcoming tour of Australia will be a crucial test for the Indian team. They will need to regroup and learn from their mistakes if they want to regain their momentum and challenge for the WTC title.
