Former leg-spinner Amit Mishra has expressed concern over the fielding of Team India ahead of all important finals during the ongoing Asia Cup 2025 in UAE. Mishra said that such laps could prove to be expensive at the summit against Pakistan at Dubai International Stadium on 28 September, Sunday.
Men in Blue topped the three games with six points of +3.547 and topped with a net run rate (NRR), which achieve a place in Super Four. He continued his unbeaten line in the Super Four Stage. The team led by Suryakumar Yadav won all three matches to reach the summit clash despite the dirty fielding.
This is a little disturbance – Varun Chakraborty
India is investigating for its fielding during the Super 4 phase of the Asia Cup 2025. The team dropped four catches against Pakistan and another five catches against Bangladesh. His struggle continued against Sri Lanka, where several Fambles allowed the batsmen to take easy runs.
Spinner Varun Chakraborty said that the challenging Prakash of the stadium made it difficult for the fielders to present the ball. Captain Suryakumar Yadav described the mistakes as a “part of the game”.
“You can’t give excuses at this level. We should take these catch, but of course, if you ask me about the fire rings, it comes in the eye, something. It’s a little disturbance,” Chakarverthi explained.
Gautam Gambhir needs to focus on Amit Mishra
Amit Mishra criticized Team India for his repeated laps during the Asia Cup 2025. He questioned the role of a fielding coach in addressing the issue. Mishra insisted that international players should quickly adapt and maintain continuous performance under pressure.
“You should practice. What a fielding coach is doing? It should practice taking a catch under the light. You are a professional cricketer. You have to work hard and adjust it. I believe that one match may have a drop in one or two.
Indian team is leaving three to four catches – Amit Mishra
Amit Mishra said that the team is dropping three to four catches in matches. He urged the players to eliminate errors and find a solution to any issue before the important final against Pakistan.
“In T20I, leaving a catch may prove to be expensive, and the Indian team is leaving three to four catches. They need to focus on fielding. There should be no margin of error in the final against Pakistan. Even if there is a problem, you should find a solution,” Mishra said.
India and Pakistan will meet for the third time in the Asia Cup 2025 on Sunday. In Blue, men have won both previous encounters in the tournament and the aim will aim to maintain their unbeaten record. Meanwhile, Pakistan will lose only to India, take revenge and seek the third Asia Cup title.
