Harmanpreet Kaur, the captain of India, remarked after her team’s loss to Australia in the third Twenty20 International to give Australia a 1-2 lead in the five-match series that India is severely lacking a bowling coach.
However, the captain is satisfied with the manner in which the bowlers are rising to the occasion and taking control of the issue.
Ramesh Powar was transferred to the National Cricket Academy (NCA) and Hrishikesh Kanitkar was named the batting coach of the side two months before the T20 World Cup in South Africa. As a result, India does not have a full-time bowling coach. Hrishikesh Kanitkar was named the batting coach of the side.
The team is getting ready for the T20 championship by playing Australia as part of their preparation. The second Twenty20 match was decided by a Super Over, but India was defeated by 21 runs in the third game on Wednesday.
During the post-game press conference, Harmanpreet Kaur stated, “I know we are clearly missing a bowling coach but our bowlers are taking command.”
“They are members of the group that attends the sessions. They are entirely responsible for everything, and today, they were the ones who made all of the arrangements and led the way; all I did was provide support for them in the midst.” In each of the three most recent Twenty20 matches, India has allowed their opponent to score more than 170 runs.
The misfortunes of the team have been compounded by the injury sustained by medium pacer Pooja Vastrakar prior to the Australia series.
“Without a doubt, Pooja is not here with us. On these courses, you should run at a moderate pace, “Harmanpreet remarked.
“It is undeniable that when you bowl back-to-back spin bowling, you make it easier for the opposing batters to get into their rhythm. Pooja’s knowledge of the game of death-overs bowling makes her absence from our team all the more noticeable.
We gave Meghna a shot in the first two games, but something just wasn’t right with her.” Renuka Singh, who has featured in 30 international matches since making her debut a little more than a year ago, is currently taking charge of the pace attack in Pooja’s absence.
“Renuka has the necessary experience as a consequence of her successful performance over the last six or seven months, which has earned her positive outcomes. When it comes to making strategies for fast bowlers, she is always in charge, and our video analysts provide a great deal of useful information “Harmanpreet Kaur stated.
“When it comes to spin bowlers, practically all of them, like Deepti, Radha, and Rajeshwari, have a significant amount of experience playing Twenty20 cricket. Even though Devika (Vaidya) is a new member of the team, she has previous experience playing cricket on the world stage and has done a lot of research on the topic of international cricket.”
Anjali Sarvani, a left-handed pacer, made her international debut for India during the series. After going wicketless in the first two T20 games, she had a breakout performance in the third T20 by taking two wickets.
In point of fact, Australia was only able to score 26 runs for two in the first four overs when Sarvani and Renuka were bowling together.
“The manner in which we bowled during the powerplay, particularly Renuka and Anjali, helped us win (was commendable). They bowled in accordance with the strategy and swung at the ball appropriately. They were not making it simple for the batters to get runs “the captain of India’s team claimed.
