India lost the ODI against England on Sunday by a margin of 31 runs because of the poor scoring rate in the first 10 overs and last 6 overs. While Rohit Sharma & Virat Kohli played the first 10 overs, Dhoni & Kedhar Jadhav batted in the last 6 overs.
Post the match, Most of Indian Cricket Lovers came down heavily on Dhoni and Kedhar Jadhav for not attacked as much as they should have in the last 6 overs though the asking rate was too high. Fans of Dhoni shot back at the critics saying the Wicket Keeper-Batsman did quite well by scoring 42 of 31 balls at a strike rate of 135. In addition, They pointed out that Rohit Sharma scored 102 runs in 109 balls at a strike rate of 94 and Virat Kohli made 66 runs of 76 balls at a strike rate of 87.
.
If Rohit and Kohli can't make the most out of the batting power-play in the first 10 overs, How can anybody expect Dhoni to score at a strike rate of 250-plus in the last 10 overs? Success and failure are common in any sport. Fans needn't have to be too critical about the performance of Team India. Indian Cricketers are as good as any of the Top Teams in the ongoing World Cup tourney.
