A day before his last match as India's bowling coach, Bharat Arun did admit that both toss and bubble fatigue contributed to India바카라™s indifferent performance in the T20 World Cup 2021, where they lost to Pakistan and New Zealand in the Super 12 stage. (More Cricket News)
Asked if the absence of a gap between IPL and T20 World Cup became a factor, Arun responded in the positive. 바카라śBeing on the road for six months is huge ask. Players haven바카라™t gone home and I think they had a short break after the last IPL got suspended.
바카라śThey 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,바카라ť Arun said on the eve of India바카라™s 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.
바카라śToss played a very, very vital role and I believe in these kind of matches, toss shouldn바카라™t be of any consequence,바카라ť he said. 바카라śHere toss gives unfair advantage and there is a huge change in batting in the first innings and batting in the second innings. That shouldn바카라™t be the case in a short format like this,바카라ť he said.
When asked whether leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal바카라™s absence hurt the team, Arun was not forthcoming. 바카라śI wouldn바카라™t like to dwell too much on that and that is for the selectors to decide. We can only play with the team given,바카라ť he replied.
