Lack Of Communication, Rush Of Blood Led To India’s Loss To South Africa In Kolkata, Says Amit Mishra
South Africa: Former India leg-spinner Amit Mishra said the team’s 30-run loss to South Africa in the opening Test at the Eden Gardens was down to poor communication and inadequate guidance for the young batting unit, adding that a rush of blood in critical moments with the bat also hurt them.
India were also a batter short as captain Shubman Gill retired hurt in the first innings due to a neck injury and did not bat in the chase. Senior opener KL Rahul's 39 in the first innings was the highest score by an Indian batter in the match. Mishra dismissed suggestions that the pitch was solely to blame for the batting collapse, and instead called for players to enhance their technical abilities and mental approach.
"See, this is not the first time, and it hasn't really happened before that wickets like this were dished out under previous captains, and games got over in two to three days. I don't think it's the pitch - it's the problem more of a problem with skill. Like, you have to improve your skills. When we go to play in England, you have to play against swing and counter-moisture. As per that, one has to enhance their skill and mind."
