WTC Final: India lacked positive mindset by opting to field, says Shastri

The Hindu  

Disappointed by India’s defensive approach, former head coach Ravi Shastri has said Rohit Sharma did not show a “positive mindset” by electing to bowl in the World Test Championship final against Australia here. It’s up to them to allow India back into the game, they batted beautifully, especially in the first session of play and that really set things up,” Shastri said. So think wickets try and make the second new ball count in the first 45 minutes of play.” “You saw what you did with Head -- better lines, into the body, lot of short stuff and take it from there and if you strike early you take it from there.” However, Shastri opined that if India don’t manage to get quick wickets in the morning session on day two the game will fly out of their hands. “Australia can bat India out of the contest by even wanting to bat two and a half sessions tomorrow with the way they are going they could be 600 plus,” Shastri added.
