Regarding the team’s strategy for T20 cricket, Ravichandran Ashwin has claimed that he and former India star Murali Karthik need to be on the same page. He believes Karthik’s notion of reacting to the situation only works in T20 cricket today. The off-spinner thinks that such a strategy in T20Is can end up costing Team India.
With regard to Murali Kartik, he advised against using the same strategy for every game. He claimed that given the characteristics of the wicket, we should adjust accordingly, but regrettably, I’m afraid I have to disagree. I can’t entirely agree with the idea of reaching a competitive total and losing in a T20 game, and that should be the T20 battle cry. In his desire for India to play aggressive cricket, Ravichandran Ashwin said. India scored only 41 runs in the powerplay against Sri Lanka in the opening T20I on Tuesday, prompting the announcement (January 3). After suffering costly losses to Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, and Sanju Samson, the Men in Blue played conservatively.
According to Ashwin, Team India’s redesigned T20I team, led by Hardik Pandya, should play fearless cricket right away. He believes that the future of the T20I format is fearless cricket.
The only option in T20 is to go down fighting and aim for the kill. That ought to be the T20 catchphrase. Teams that use this phrase serve to intimidate their opponents. In T20s, opponents should be afraid to look at your batting order. That, in my opinion, is T20 cricket’s future.
In Pune, Hardik Pandya and the company will try to win the second T20I. The hosts chose to field after winning the toss. With a victory, the hosts would have a commanding 2-0 series lead. The four-game Test series against Pat Cummins’ Australia at home will be Ashwin’s next opportunity to play in February and March.
