The openers’ poor start was exacerbated when Axar Patel and Suryakumar Yadav followed them back to the pavilion. At one point, India was 31/4 and appeared to be out of the game.
Both Indian openers have received criticism for their slow starts in T20Is. Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar posted on his YouTube channel that India’s opening pair appeared to be under pressure and scared.source: Shoaib AkhtarThore dabe lag rahe hai, thode dare-dare lag rahe hai, India openers ki baat karenge. Apne aap ko calm down kare, apni batting gawa raha hai, says Rohit Sharma, the captain. (India’s openers appear to be nervous and under pressure. As a captain, Rohit needs to relax; his batting is suffering as a result.)
He also claimed that KL Rahul is concentrating too hard and, as a result, is losing wickets.
KL Rahul jyada khudko fasa raha hai, wo na kare, he says. (KL Rahul is getting trapped because of his overly focused approach, which he should avoid), Akhtar said on his YouTube channel.
