After the frequent failures, Mishra began to doubt the fielding coach’s function. He asked Gautam Gambhir, the team’s head coach, to concentrate more on the fielding.
Amit Mishra, a former leg-spinner, was blunt in his criticism of the Indian team’s poor fielding performance at the Asia Cup. Throughout the eight-team event, Suryakumar Yadav and company have been incredibly reliable with the bat and the ball. But the same cannot be true for their fielding, particularly when it comes to high-catching.
India missed four and five catches in their Super Four matches against Bangladesh and Pakistan, respectively. They haven’t been able to pluck the balls from the “Ring of Fire” at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium as well as they would have wanted, Varun Chakaravarthy disclosed.
“I believe Gautam Gambhir should concentrate on his fielding,” Mishra was said by India Today.
The ground fielding was awful, even though India outplayed Sri Lanka in the decisive Super Four match. Janith Liyanage returned for the second run and took the match into the Super Over after Axar Patel mishandled the last delivery.
“You ought to get some practice. What is the coach of fielding doing? He ought to force them to practise catching in the light. You play cricket professionally. You must put in a lot of effort and adapt. I concur that during a game, there may be one or two dropped catches. However, it has been occurring regularly.
When playing Pakistan in the final, there should be no room for error: Mishra
India has been wasting a lot of catching chances, according to Mishra, and losing even one catch can hurt the squad. Before the last match against Pakistan on Sunday, September 28, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, he said, India should settle their differences.
“The Indian team is losing three or four catches, and in Twenty20 Internationals, it can be expensive to miss even one catch. They must concentrate on fielding. When playing Pakistan in the final, there should be no room for error. “You should find a solution to the problem, even if there is one,” he continued.
