We Were Rusty, We Showed Our Naivety: Pybus Admits Afghanistan Have 'a Lot To Work On' After Crushing India Defeat
Graham Pybus: Afghanistan head coach Graham Pybus conceded his side's shortcomings after their humiliating innings-and-300-run defeat to India in New Chandigarh, admitting the team looked "rusty" and "naive" in only their 13th Test match since gaining Test status nearly nine years ago.
Just over half an hour into the third session of Monday's play, India sealed their one-off Test victory, bowling Afghanistan out for 152 and 112 following a massive 564/8 declared of their own. It was the second time Afghanistan suffered a big defeat at the hands of India, who previously secured an innings and 262-run win in Bengaluru in 2018.
Speaking after the thumping loss, Pybus confessed Afghanistan's inexperience with the longest format of the game poses the biggest obstacle. "We were rusty, we showed our naivety, and there's plenty of work to be done," he told reporters after the match.
