'India's Bowling Was Third Class' - Former Pakistan Spinner Danish Kaneria On India's Poor Show Against Ban

Post India’s defeat, former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria castigated the Indian team. He referred India’s performance as "third class".

New Delhi: The Indian team under the leadership of Rohit Sharma got outplayed by Bangladesh in the second ODI by five runs. They also lost the First ODI by one wicket. Post India’s defeat, former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria castigated the Indian team. He referred India’s performance as "third class".

"Bangladesh bowlers bowled exceptionally while India's bowling was third class. It's harsh but you have to see where Indian cricket is heading towards. The conditions were similar to those back home but Indian bowlers were getting exposed. The Indian bowling were bowling short-pitched deliveries, no one targetted the body or the yorker's. Siraj leaked a lot of runs. He has aggression but his bowling was a bit wayward," Kaneria stated in a video uploaded on his YouTube channel.

Talking about the match, after batting first, Bangladesh scored 271/7 with the help of  Mehidy Hasan Miraz’s 100 not out. He also forged a 148-run partnership with Mahmudullah who also scored 77 runs.  For India,  Washington Sundar scalped three wickets while Mohammed Siraj and Umran Malik took two wickets each. 

In reply to that, India had a terrible start but then Shreyas Iyer made 82 runs while Axar Patel scored a run-a-ball 56. India ended up posting  266 for nine in 50 overs. 

Despite India losing the match, the highlight was Rohit Sharma’s brilliant cameo. He had a thumb injury while fielding and post that, the medical team of BCCI evaluated and took him for scans. But still, he came out to bat and remained unbeaten on 51 off 28 balls.  He took the match to the last ball but unfortunately, the Men in Blue fell short by just five runs. 

The third ODI will be taking place in Chattogram on Saturday.

Squads:

India: Rohit Sharma (c), KL Rahul (VC), Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Shreyas Iyer, Rahul Tripathi, Rishabh Pant (WK), Ishan Kishan (wk), Shahbaz Ahmed, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, Deepak Chahar, Kuldeep Sen.
