Asked if the absence of a gap between IPL and T20 World Cup became a factor, Arun responded in the positive. 바카라Being on the road for six months is huge ask. Players haven바카라t gone home and I think they had a short break after the last IPL got suspended.
바카라They have been in a bubble for six months and that takes a huge toll, so specific to your question, may be a short break between IPL and World Cup could have done a lot of good for these boys,바카라 Arun said on the eve of India바카라s final group league game against Namibia.
However, he was pretty annoyed that in a tournament of this stature, toss played such a crucial role, as India, while batting first, looked a different outfit compared to the opposition who were helped in shot-making because of the dew-laden surface.
바카라Toss played a very, very vital role and I believe in these kind of matches, toss shouldn바카라t be of any consequence,바카라 he said. 바카라Here toss gives unfair advantage and there is a huge change in batting in the first innings and batting in the second innings. That shouldn바카라t be the case in a short format like this,바카라 he said.
When asked whether leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal바카라s absence hurt the team, Arun was not forthcoming. 바카라I wouldn바카라t like to dwell too much on that and that is for the selectors to decide. We can only play with the team given,바카라 he replied.
