Outside Factors Doesn't Matter; Players Focus On Contributing To The Team: Akash Deep
Boxing Day Test: Reflecting over reports that hinted at a rift within the team during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, Indian fast bowler Akash Deep dismissed those reports and said such factors doesn’t really affect the team's unity as players are focused on their on-field performance.
After the huge 184-run defeat to Australia in the Boxing Day Test at Melbourne, reports of disquiet in the Indian dressing room emerged, claiming that head coach Gautam Gambhir is believed to have said, 'Bahut ho gaya' (I’ve had enough) in his speech, with the dressing room environment being ‘far from ideal’.
"It doesn’t really matter... During the game, a player’s focus is always on what they can contribute to the team because in Test cricket, you have to be fully engaged throughout. If you’re even a little bit detached from the game, you could miss out on the entire match. I don’t think these outside factors really matter to the team, because everyone’s focused on what’s happening on the field," Akash told IANS.
