Nasser Hussain- “They don’t play fearless brand of cricket in ICC events” in T20 World Cup 2021

Former England captain Nasser Hussain believes India does not play courageous cricket in ICC competitions, despite the fact that they are a highly gifted team capable of doing so.

Following their last Super 12 match against Namibia on Monday, India will be eliminated from the T20 World Cup 2021 early. From Group 2, New Zealand and Pakistan, the two teams India lost to, have qualified for the semi-finals.

With their latest defeat, India’s quest for an ICC title, which they last won in 2013, will continue. According to Hussain, their game has a mental component to it that is dragging them down in multi-nation competitions.

“You have got to go out and express yourself. They (India) have got so much talent. That may be the only thing that’s holding India back in ICC events. They don’t quite play the fearless brand of cricket that they deserve to because they are so talented.” he elaborated

In the T20 World Cup 2021, India got off to a bad start, losing by 10 wickets to Pakistan. Hussain praised Pakistan but admitted that India’s defeat was a major setback. Nasser Hussain

“I had them as favorites. They had been playing IPL here, are a star-studded side. They got a setback in that first game. The way Shaheen Afridi bowled in the powerplay, those two deliveries that Rohit and Rahul got would have got a lot of great cricketers out. That’s sometimes the problem with the Indian side. They are so good at the top, some of the middle-order don’t get much of a hit and suddenly you need a Plan B and that was found wanting.” He commented

India made a mistake with their selection and choice to divide their opening combination for the New Zealand encounter, according to the former England captain.
