Legendary captain MS Dhoni has slammed team India’s critics for criticizing the team for their recent poor outings. Team India had a horrible outing in the recently-concluded Asia Cup 2022 and they were knocked out before the final after losing to Pakistan and Sri Lanka in the Super 4.
The Indian side then suffered a loss in the series opener against Australia in the first T20I in Mohali. Despite posting a huge total of 208 runs on the scoreboard, the Indian bowlers failed miserably to defend the target. However, the Men in Blue bounced back in the second T20I and defeated Australia by six wickets in a rain-curtailed match.
However, the Indian cricket team has found itself at the receiving end of criticism and trolling for their inconsistent performances. Several critics and experts have slammed the team for inconsistent performances saying that the team can’t win the upcoming T20I World Cup 2022 if they continue to play this way.
Meanwhile, former Indian captain MS Dhoni said it is very easy to sit and comment from the outside however a cricket match is won or lost on the ground and the other team is also out there to win. He said: “Sitting on the outside, it’s always easy to say we should have played in a certain way but it’s not easy. We are representing our country but the opposition players are also representing their country too,”
Dhoni also said that it is human to make mistakes during the game and no one makes mistakes intentionally. He said: “Honestly, when players are on the field, no one wants to make any mistakes whether it’s misfielding or dropped catches,”
He added: “I always try and get into other players’ shoes to figure out why a player dropped a catch or why somebody misfielded. Throwing tantrums does not help matters. There are already 40,000 people watching from the stands and crores of people watching the action on television and through other mediums. I have to see what the reason was,”
In the meantime, the focus has now shifted to the final match of the series between India and Australia that will take place tonight in Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
