After losing the series against Bangladesh, Sehwag demanded change in Team India, know what…

Virender Sehwag India vs Bangladesh: Former cricketers like Venkatesh Prasad and Virender Sehwag on Wednesday demanded a change in the approach of the Indian team after their five-run defeat to Bangladesh in the second match and the ODI series. For the second time in as many matches, India’s bowlers allowed Bangladesh’s batting line-up to handle, and after 2015, the country lost the series for the second time in a row. Mehdi Hasan Miraj and Mustafizur Rahman took advantage of India’s lethargy in the last six overs to give Bangladesh a win in the first ODI on Sunday for the last wicket.

On Wednesday, the visitors squandered Bangladesh’s advantage of being 69/6 in 19 overs and Mehdi made a brilliant recovery with Mahmudullah (77) to score an unbeaten century off 83 balls and shared a 148-run partnership. Bangladesh scored 271/6 in 50 overs. Indian bowlers looted 102 runs in the last 10 overs. With the bat, they got off to a poor start as Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, Washington Sundar and KL Rahul were dismissed in 19 overs.

Shreyas Iyer scored 82 runs, Akshar Patel scored 56 runs and captain Rohit Sharma played an unbeaten inning of 51 runs in 28 balls. But India missed the target by five runs. Bangladesh kept their composure to maintain their perfect record of not losing a series at home since October 2016.

In his two tweets after India lost the series, Prasad said that the team needs to take tough measures like England to change its stance in white-ball cricket for the better. Prasad said, “India is experimenting in so many areas around the world. But when it comes to playing limited overs cricket, our approach is a decade old.” Made tough decisions and got better. An exciting team, India need to make tough decisions.”

“Huge change in approach. We haven’t won a T20 World Cup since IPL started and have been poor in ODIs in the last 5 years, apart from having insignificant bilateral wins. Some of our mistakes for too long,” he said. Haven’t learned. There is a need for change in the team in limited overs cricket.”

Sehwag, a former right-handed opening batsman and a member of the 2011 ODI World Cup-winning team, said the Indian team needed a wake-up call. This team is falling faster than Kryptos. They need to wake up. India will now aim for a consolation win against Bangladesh in the third ODI at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium (ZACS) in Chittagong on Saturday.
