New Delhi, Jan 2: Former India cricketer Kris Srikkanth unleashed a scathing critique on the Indian side, labelling them as overrated in Test cricket on the backdrop of India’s recent inning and 32-run defeat in the first Test match against Proteas at Centurion.
Srikkanth minced no words, asserting that several players in the Indian Test team were overrated and had underperformed, and deserving talents like Kuldeep Yadav were being overlooked.
“In T20 cricket India are highly over-rated. ODI cricket, we are a fantastic team. What happens in ODis, in the semifinals, finals, it’s just a one-off match. It’s a luck factor, a lot depends on luck in these matches,” Srikkanth said on his YouTube channel.
“I read Rohit Sharma’s statement, for a cricketer, the 50-over World Cup is a huge achievement. We sometimes underperform in the knockout matches, in the semifinals and the final. But we are a gun side in ODI. Regardless of where we play, be it India, Australia or South Africa, we are a gun side,” he added. (IANS)
