No sugarcoating India's World Cup buildup
Hindustan TimesBy now we have been adequately warned about not getting carried away by the highs gained in bilateral series. Chennai, Mar 22 : India's Kuldeep Yadav along with Captain Rohit Sharma and team mates celebrate the dismissal of Australia's Sean Abbott during the 3rd ODI, at MA Chidambaram Stadium, in Chennai on Wednesday. It’s completely possible India are seeking comfort in numbers, as they did during the buildup of the T20 World Cup. It’s a matter of application, said Sharma after the loss, but India are yet to find two batters barring Kohli who can consistently anchor the middle overs. This was one of the rare series where India fielded only left-arm slow bowlers–Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav in Mumbai before adding Patel in Visakhapatnam and Chennai.
