It is very rare for an Indian team to fail against spin bowling in its home series. South Africa, the current champion of WTC, has done this. South Africa’s spinners took a total of 25 wickets in the series, which was the main reason for their 2-0 victory in the series. Shadab Jakati, who has played for three teams including Chennai Super Kings in IPL, said in a special conversation with ABP that Gautam Gambhir is a good coach, but to bring good results for the team, the players will have to do well.
Today’s batsmen don’t have that thing
Indian batsmen are failing in front of spin bowling, the team is not able to win matches at its own home. On this, Shadab Jakati said, “At one time, Indian batsmen were known to be experts for spinners, like Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman, Rahul Dravid, they were in a different class. Now that our players have started playing more white ball cricket (ODI and T20), there has been a lot of difference in the batting of Test cricket and white ball cricket. Because red ball also has seam and swing, but in white ball matches, T20 has flat pitches, where there is turn. It doesn’t happen at all. Somehow it makes a difference in batting in Tests.”
He further said, “I feel that today’s batsmen have lost class. As cricket is developing, it has to be accepted that things are changing. Now there are less Test matches, more white ball cricket has been played, this has made a lot of difference to our Indian batsmen.”
Gautam Gambhir is a good coach, and the coach can’t play on the ground.
After Gautam Gambhir became the head coach, South Africa is the second team to clean sweep the Indian team in a Test series at home. Last year New Zealand had defeated India 3-0.
When Shadab Jakati was asked what mistake Gautam Gambhir is doing as a coach, in response he said, “Gautam Gambhir is a good coach, but the coach cannot play on the ground. His job is management, motivating the players, telling them things technically. Gambhir motivates the players as much as he can. Only our players will play inside the ground, only they have to play. Cricket is like this, sometimes a team wins which The team plays well, it wins.”
He further said, “I think our bowling and batting department also lacked in both the Test matches. South Africa played better, so they are in a better position. The road ahead looks a bit difficult for the team, but I believe that Gautam Gambhir has given good results in the past as well. As much as I know Gautam Gambhir, he will try to do better, whatever mistakes are being made, Gambhir will definitely want to improve them. Talking about Test cricket, our team is still very young, lack of experience. So maybe we will see better performance in future.”
