India were bowled out for 111 in 18.5 overs after South Africa posted 187\/7, with Marco Jansen taking 4-22 and Keshav Maharaj claiming 3-24. Despite a fighting 42 from Shivam Dube, the chase never gained momentum, with early dismissals of Ishan Kishan and Abhishek Sharma compounding India\u2019s struggles.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Nayar noted the unusual predicament for India\u2019s top order and criticised the Indian openers\u2019 performance against the Proteas. \u201cIt\u2019s going to be a very uncomfortable discussion between Ishan Kishan and Abhishek as to who takes the strike because suddenly he has passed the baton of the zeroes to Ishan Kishan, someone who was in prime form. But this is a problem for India,\u201d Nayar told JioStar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He highlighted the technical challenge posed by off-spin and the importance of strategising for upcoming matches.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThere is definitely going to be a discussion about how they can overcome an off-spinner bowling to them because, keep in mind, when they take on the West Indies as well, Roston Chase is going to bowl in the powerplay to them. So they will want to come back with better plans,\u201d Nayar said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Nayar\u2019s observations underline India\u2019s need to adapt quickly against quality spin if they hope to recover in the Super Eights stage and keep their semi-final hopes alive.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
