Team India did not win a single match in the T20 series against England. The Indian team lost the T20 series 0-4. After this defeat, a question mark is being raised on the thinking and strategy of Team India. Although the batsmen are under a lot of attack after the defeat in the T20 series against England, but former wicketkeeper Parthiv Patel pointed out the shortcomings of Team India which perhaps no one is paying attention to. According to Parthiv Patel, Team India pays attention towards specialist T20 batsmen but is not going towards specialist bowlers. Parthiv Patel exposed Team India’s thinking and strategy with just a few gestures.
Why is Team India not paying attention to specialist bowlers?
Parthiv Patel While talking to Star Sports, he said that Team India is not paying attention towards T20 specialist. He said, ‘Like we bring specialist T20 batsmen. But we don’t think like this about bowling. We think that Bumrah will come and do the job. We gave a chance to Prince Yadav, but then we go back to the famous Krishna, then to Shardul Thakur. We again turn to the traditional bowlers. But we are not going towards T20 specialist bowlers.

“Just as we bring in specialist batters for T20I, there is no focus on specialist T20I bowlers, we still rely solely on Bumrah and in his absence, we fall back on bowlers like Prasidh Krishna and Shardul Thakur.” pic.twitter.com/qWByEvhaC

Bowlers thrashed in T20 series
Indian bowlers were badly beaten in the T20 series against England. Only Arshdeep Singh and Prasidh Krishna remained whose economy rate was less than 10 runs per over. However, this bowler also proved to be very expensive. Talking about Harshit Rana, he gave 70 runs in 7 overs. Shivam Dubey gave away 47 runs in 3 overs. Prince Yadav gave 118 runs in 11 overs. Akshar Patel gave away 156 runs in 14 overs. Team India’s spinners disappointed a lot. Akshar, Varun, Ravi Bishnoi performed very poorly.
Talking about the T20 series, England defeated India by 4 wickets in the second T20. England won by 125 runs in the third T20. In the fourth T20 match, England lost by 9 wickets. England also won by 56 runs in the fifth T20.
