India can now be organized again and can think of a strategy – Ravi Shastri
Speaking after a rain breaks on Sky Sports, Nasar Hussain said that Indian bowlers need to make some magic to come back to the game. He said:
“Let’s see if that rain delay has done anything for India. They need some magic – and Gill will have to use his best three bowlers. It’s not a club game, a school game where you play someone and have to bowl.
Meanwhile, Ravi Shastri said that the rain break will allow India to re -organize and work. He said:
“The rain has come at the right time for India … Dkett was harassing Jadez with his sweep shots and reverse sweep, so the brake could not come at a better time.
“India can now be organized again and think of a strategy, think what they are going to use for the remaining game. I think Jadeja will have to use more. They should be asked to be patient.”
