Senior players need to take more responsibility, says India coach Ramesh Powar
Ramesh Powar has urged the team's senior players to take more responsibility starting with the ICC Women's World Cup match against West Indies here on Saturday. The Indian top-order failed to fire once again as the Mithali Raj-led side scored just 50 runs off 20 overs while chasing 261 to eventually suffer a 62-run loss against hosts New Zealand on Thursday. “I think it was one of those days where things didn't go our way and honestly I was also surprised the way we batted 20 overs," Powar said at the virtual pre-match conference on the eve of the team's game against West Indies. "And if you look back (at the) last six games, which we have played against New Zealand, we were executing our plans well.” Powar said the team has been given ample opportunities to practice in the lead up to the tournament and it is now time to deliver.
