Reason for todays loss

So guys, inspite of the brilliant batting by our boys and such a good total, why y did we lose? Analysis and discussion.

No Acc. to me Pitch was very Flat And There Was No Proper Help For Pacers Of Both Team .

Neha, I don't know how much to blame Dhoni's captaincy, 'cause our bowlers have been painfully ordinary. Not much to work with. We need to build a solid bowling unit.Till then, I would reserve judgement on his captaincy.

I agree with Indian batsmen slowing down when they near the 100-run mark. As Glenn Maxwell said, he's not a milestone driven player and I think our batsmen should learn from him. Too much emphasis on individual batting performances.

I feel there is less emphasis on India the team and too much emphasis on Rohit/Virat the batsman.

I think the main problem is our bowler's. Our bowler can only bowl well in asia with the help of spinners. But our fast bowler can't take wickets in other countries. If you see in virat kohli captinacy he has won only that series that have been played in asia

None from the above listed options . I think the major reason behind today loss was Rohit and Virat less agressive approach in the end overs . It may sound harsh but on a flat track where there was nothing for bowlers and boundary was at an average distance of 65 m . You needed bigger totals maybe around 350 . India just lost 3 wickets still got only 309 on board they were 1 for 180 after 35 overs and managed only 68 runs in the next 10 overs with the loss of 1 wickets and that too fell in the 45th over . That says it all India were eyeing for 300 and they were happy with it but considering the pitch it wasn't enough .
We can talk about Bailey dismissal but you can't always blame umpires for losses . Poor bowlers 😭 pitch had nothing for them baring bounce . It was always batsmen game you need to be a world class bowlers to perform on these kind of wickets . All is left on batsmen now if they are taking singles its because they wanna rotate strike if they are not hitting you out of the park its because they are not interested in it now . You need an out of form batsmen or a bad shot ( correction here a very bad shot coz top edges too sail over the ropes ) to get batsmen out
The one to be blame here is ICC they are killing Cricket . They have no control on pitch and grounds
Hopefully we will get to see better match next time otherwise 1 more series will be wasted .
