"No Sharpness In Bowling": Ex-India Star Blasts Pacers After Loss To South Africa In First Test

Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan has highlighted the lack of planning while bowling to the South African batters in the first Test in Centurion last week. The Proteas defeated India by an innings and 32 runs in the first Test at the SuperSport Park, taking a 1-0 lead in the two-match series. Barring Jasprit Bumrah, who bagged four wickets in South Africa's first innings, the Indian pacers struggled against the Proteas, with Dean Elgar smashing 185.

"Instead Of Prasidh Krishna Or Shardul Thakur...": Ex-Pakistan Star Slams India's Selection After Loss To South Africa In 1st Test

The Indian cricket team suffered an embarrassing innings and 32-run loss to South Africa in the first Test match in Centurion. The Proteas put an all-round performance to outwit India within three days and took a 1-0 unassailable lead in the two-match series. While all the batters, barring Virat Kohli, flopped in India's second innings, the bowlers too failed to impress in their only chance as South Africa were not needed to bat for a second time in the game. In their only innings, the hosts scored 408 despite Jasprit Bumrah's four-wicket haul.

"Poor Kid Isn't Ready For Test Cricket": Ex-India Pacer's No-Nonsense Take On Prasidh Krishna

India pacer Prasidh Krishna had a torrid outing in the first Test against South Africa earlier this year. In the absence of Mohammed Shami, Krishna made his Test debut at the SuperSport Park in Centurion as India lost the match by an innings and 32 runs against the Proteas. The 27-year-old conceded 90 runs in 20 overs and picked up just one wicket. Following India's defeat, several current and former players criticised Krishna for his wayward line and length in the match.

Virat Kohli, Ravi Shastri Were "Trigger-Happy": Ex-India Star's Monumental Comment On Team Selection

Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has opined that the team management could give a chance to Mukesh Kumar in the second Test against South Africa, starting January 3 in Cape Town. He, however, added that it would be unfair with Prasidh Krishna if he is dropped. Manjrekar also pointed out that had there been the previous management that was during the Ravi Shastri-Virat Kohli era, it would have made changes in the playing XI, saying that the former coach-caption duo was "trigger-happy".

"Wasn't One Of Rohit Sharma's Best Days...": Ex-India Star On 'Blunder' In South Africa Loss

Former Indian cricket team batter Sanjay Manjrekar was not happy with Rohit Sharma's captaincy in the first Test against South Africa in Centurion. India slumped to a heavy loss against South Africa within three days and it means that India's quest of winning a Test series in South Africa remained unsuccessful once again. Manjrekar pointed out Rohit's decision to use Shardul Thakur and Prasidh Krishna straight after lunch on Day 3 as a 'blunder' and said that it was not 'one of Rohit's best days".

'Definitely Lack Of Skill': RCB Star's Blunt Take On India's Loss To South Africa In 1st Test

Veteran wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik has blamed the "lack of skill" for India's crushing defeat to South Africa in the first Test earlier this week. South Africa beat India by an innings and 32 runs at the SportSport Park in Centurion, taking a 1-0 lead in the two-match series. India scored just 245 runs in the first innings, while also allowing South Africa to post 408. After conceding a lead of 163 runs, India were bowled out for 131 in their second innings, thus crashing to an innings defeat.

"Indian Team Really Misses Him": Dinesh Karthik On "Lieutenant To Jasprit Bumrah" Post 1st Test Loss

Veteran wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik feels India pacer Mohammed Shami's injury has proved to be a huge setback for the team in the ongoing first Test against South Africa in Centurion. Dean Elgar led South Africa's charge after India were bowled out for 245 in the first innings. Elgar scored 185 as the Indian pacers struggled to pick wickets at regular intervals, allowing South Africa to take a sizeable lead in the first innings. Shami was ruled out of the two-match series due to an ankle injury.

Prasidh Krishna's Performance Hints At Bare Bench Strength

A few weeks ago, India's bowling coach Paras Mhambrey in an interview to PTI was very clear that no coach can claim credit to have created a pacer of Mohammed Shami's calibre. On the second and third day of the first Test against South Africa when Dean Elgar, David Bedingham and Marco Jansen were making a mockery of Shardul Thakur and debutant Prasidh Krishna, Shami's absence was felt like never before.
