Insecurity among players reason for India’s poor showing in ICC events: Robin Uthappa

The Hindu  

Former India player Robin Uthappa feels leaving Kuldeep Yadav out of the second Test against Bangladesh after his eight wickets in the opening game does not send the right message to players, and makes them insecure. Uthappa, who was a part of India’s T20 World Cup-winning side in 2007, added that IPL teams like Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings, which have made fewer changes to their squad over the years, have been the most successful sides only because of this reason. “Kuldeep was ‘Player of the Match’ in first Test against Bangladesh and he was out of the team for the next match; it doesn’t give a good message,” Uthappa, India’s former white-ball specialist, told PTI in an interview. There have been constant changes in the team for a long time, when a player does not feel safe, he always remains with the mindset of saving his place in the team.” Uthappa, who won the IPL three times, said, “I think it is important to give a sense of security to the players. And in crucial matches, their performance dips because they are not sure of their place in team for the next match.” Citing the example of MI and CSK, the two most successful IPL teams having won five and four titles respectively, Uthappa added, “You look at IPL, most of the times such teams have won the titles which have made less changes in the playing XI.
