sage Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 https://www.timesnownews.com/sports/cricket/when-i-was-coach-india-were-timid-at-the-top-shastri-backs-rohit-and-co-s-aggressive-approach-in-t20is-article-93747476 Former India head coach Ravi Shastri admitted that the Men in Blue were timid at the top in the shortest formats especially while talking about the new approach. Shastri said that the discussion had happened about the approach during his tenure but said that this approach is the best in the T20Is. Shastri admitted that India were a little too timid especially at the top of the order - trying to conserve wickets, setting up for the middle-order to finish on a high. Speaking on Star Sports ahead of India's clash against Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2022, Shastri said, "They should not change the approach. Even when I was coach we discussed we were a bit timid at the top considering the players we had down the order. "It is the right approach. You will lose a few games in between but if you start winning with this approach you can take that confidence in big games and use the same tactics," he added. Link to comment

jf1gp_1 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 (edited) Then captain Virat confessed to faking intensity, team ofcourse will be timid Edited August 27, 2022 by jf1gp_1 Link to comment
sandeep Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 1 hour ago, Lord said: also all good things in his tenure due to him, bad due to Kohli well reality is that he's on record saying it multiple times - that ultimate decision making authority for a cricket team is the Captain and not the Coach. That's the reason why he was backed by Virat to replace Kumble in the first place. Shastri is a lot of things, but he's not stupid enough not to know how things work in Indian cricket.

nevada Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 The team was doing well but now out of form Kohli and out of practice Rahul are back to screw things up. Swag 1 Link to comment
cowboysfan Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 the problem also was that we had a bad middle order and no hitting to speak off from our bowlers,we seem to have fixed that for now. Link to comment

wanted_desi Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 They were timid and Kohli didn’t give anyone develop into good option for middle order. Link to comment
sage Posted August 27, 2022 Author Share Posted August 27, 2022 This is implicit criticism by Shastri of Kohli isn't it? sandeep 1 Link to comment
Clarke Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 In essence you were timid towards Kohli and hence he preferred u over Jumbo, @Ravi_Shastri Ravi_Shastri 1 Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Last year after world T20 loss Kohli said we were timid. Now Nasser says we are timid. Shastri also admitted they were timid. If you can't eliminate timidity, eliminate the personnel who are timid Link to comment

If you can't eliminate timidity, eliminate the personnel who are timid then you will have no one... perhaps one can play the U19 team instead, but some of them are timid too Edited November 11, 2022 by Vijy vvvslaxman 1 Link to comment
