Ponting Urges India To 'go Back To The Basics' For Super 8 Clash Against Windies
T20 World Cup: Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting believes India must move away from overthinking match-ups and instead focus on fielding their strongest XI following the 76-run defeat to South Africa in the Super Eights of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
India's team selection came under scrutiny at the Narendra Modi Stadium, where Washington Sundar was preferred over vice-captain Axar Patel in a tactical move aimed at countering South Africa’s left-hand-heavy batting line-up. The decision, however, did not pay off as India were bundled out for 111 in reply to 187/7, slumping to their first defeat of the tournament.
Ponting questioned the rationale behind sidelining Axar solely on match-up grounds. "Listening to the commentary, the reason Axar didn’t play (against South Africa) is because of the left-handers in the opposition side. But there are still some right-handers there. It just comes down to the art of the captain being able to use Axar at the right time,” he said in the latest episode of The ICC Review.
