India’s head coach Rahul Dravid did not shrink back from admitting failures within the batting division, particularly close to the lengthy tail after the Indian workforce slumped to a collection defeat in opposition to West Indies. Dravid, talking on the post-match press convention on Sunday, stated that loads of work must be put to be able to remedy the ‘batting depth’ puzzle that has troubled the Indian workforce for lengthy.

While Axar Patel, at No. 7, stays India’s final recognisable batter, the likes of Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Mukesh Kumar are all pure bowlers who can hardly be relied upon to attain runs. In comparability, West Indies had Alzarri Joseph, a participant who can hit massive photographs, coming in at No. 11.

“I think in terms of our squad here, probably it did not allow us the flexibility in some ways to be able to change the combinations a little bit. But I think going forward, we have got to look at certain areas in which we can get better. Finding depth in our batting has been an area we are trying to address. We are trying to do the best we possibly can but that is certainly an area we can look at, how we cannot weaken our bowling attack but ensure we have a certain amount of depth in batting,” Dravid admitted.

“As these games are going on, and scores are becoming bigger and bigger, if you look at West Indies, they had Alzarri Joseph coming in at No. 11 and he can hit a mean ball. So you have sides that have that depth. Obviously, we have some challenges on that front and we need to work on that. It’s certainly something that this series has shown us and we need to build on that depth,” he additional defined.

India’s defeat in opposition to West Indies will result in loads of questions amongst critics and followers, particularly contemplating the following T20 World Cup is scheduled to be held in West Indies and the USA in 2024.
