It’s Just That The Conditions Are Slightly Tougher For Them, Says Ruturaj Gaikwad On India’s Death Bowling
Ruturaj Gaikwad: India batter Ruturaj Gaikwad came out in defence of the death bowling performance during their five-wicket loss to Australia in the third T20I, saying the conditions were tough for the bowlers due to dew, which increased the difficulty of gripping the wet ball.
In the defence of 223, barring Prasidh Krishna’s six-run 18th over, India’s death bowling was carted around for runs by Glenn Maxwell, who raced his way to a whirlwind 47-ball century, the fastest by an Australian batter in the shortest format.
"I don't think so death bowling is a concern. They are bowling with a wet ball and it’s tough on them. In these conditions, 12 runs an over, and even 13-14 runs an over are gettable. Even in the first game, we saw how easily we managed to chase 210. It’s just that the conditions are slightly tougher for them so we have to accept that and move on," said Gaikwad in the post-match press conference.
