IND vs SA 2nd Test: Venkatesh Prasad criticises Team India's reliance on all-rounders

Venkatesh Prasad

Former cricketer Venkatesh Prasad did not hold back in his criticism after India suffered a crushing 408-run defeat in the second Test against South Africa here at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.

The ex-India pacer termed it a "disappointing display of tactics and skills", while slamming the team management's decision to include multiple all-rounders at the behest of specialist batters or bowlers.

"Really disappointed by how India is going about Test cricket. The all-rounder obsession is absolute brain-fade especially when you don't bowl them. Poor tactics, poor skills, poor body language and an unprecedented 2-0 series whitewash at home. Hope this does not get washed off with Test matches 9 months away," Prasad said via X.
