Former India cricketer Venkatesh Prasad criticised India after they lost the five-match T20 series by 3-2 to the Caribbean. West Indies defeated India in the 5th T20I in Florida by 8 wickets It was their first T20I series victory over India since 2017. Venkatesh Prasad slammed Indian players and said they should improve their skill sets and they are responsible for the debacle and need to be accountable.
Venkatesh Prasad Wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter):
India needs to improve their skillset. Their is a hunger & intensity deficiency & often the captain looked clueless. Bowler’s can’t bat, batsmen can’t bowl. It’s important to not look for yes men and be blinded because someone is your favourite player but look at the larger good
They are responsible for the debacle and need to be accountable. Process and such words are misused now. MS meant it, guys now just use the word. There is no consistency in selection, random stuff happening too much
Not just 50 overs, West Indies had failed to qualify for the T20 World cup last Oct- Nov as well. It pains to see India perform poorly and brush it under the carpet, under the garb of process. That hunger, fire is missing and we live in an illusion.
India has been a very very ordinary limited overs side for sometime now. They have been humbled by a West Indies side that failed to qualify for the T20 WC few months back. We had also lost to Ban in the ODI series. Hope they introspect instead of making silly statements #IndvWI
