2022 hasn’t given Indian cricket team a great start as they have lost all the matches that they have played so far. India have played one test match and 2 ODI games. India lost the final test at Cape Town to lose the series 2-1, post which Virat Kohli left his test captaincy much to the shock of all. India have lost both their ODI games so far to go down 2-0 in the 3 match series. It seems not all is well in the Indian camp and a former international player has made startling claims about the Indian team.
Team India divided?
Former Pakistan leg spin bowler Danish Kaneria has come out and made some shocking claims about the Indian team. The former leggie said that the Indian team seemed divided during a recent TV grab of the ongoing India – South Africa series. Kaneria said “we saw that the Indian team was divided into two groups, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli were sitting apart. Also Kohli wasn’t in the same mood as he used to be when he was the captain. But he’s a team man and will come back stronger”.
Team India under pressure –
KL Rahul is a man under pressure as he has seen two losses in the current ODI series. Rahul also lost the 2nd test at Johannesburg when he replaced Kohli as the skipper. All these losses have made the fans criticize Rahul for his bland and uninspiring captaincy. Rahul has been standing in for Rohit Sharma who is the regular white ball skipper. Sharma was injured before the Indian team left for South Africa.
Virat Kohli in the meanwhile has given a mixed bag performance in the ODI series. Kohli scored 51 in the 1st game at Paarl before scoring a five ball duck in the 2nd ODI. Kohli in fact was seen in jovial mood while seeing Pant bat during the 2nd ODI in fact also breaking into a jig which got a smile on Shikhar Dhawan’s face which was caught on by the TV cameras.
