2nd Test: Ashwin Raises Concerns Over India's ‘body Language’
The South African: Former India cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin hoped for India to stage a comeback in the second innings of the ongoing Test against South Africa, but also expressed concern over a negative result for the hosts by criticising their body language on the field.
Team India finished Day 3 with trouble mounting as the Proteas delivered a superb performance across departments to dominate the Test. The South African bowlers dismantled India’s batting attack and initiated a collapse as Marco Jansen’s six-wicket haul led to the visitors walking out to bat again for their second innings.
As the play resumed on Day 4, Ashwin expressed concerns, saying that the team’s body language on the field doesn’t indicate positive signs.
