Regarding playing XI (Playing XI), some defects are being seen in Team India. If the Indian Cricket Team does not control its mistakes, the difficulties may also increase.

The Super-4 match between India and Sri Lanka (India Vs Sri Lanka) is do or die. Whichever team loses here will ruin the team’s hopes of winning the Asia Cup (Asia Cup 2022). Either that team has to hope and pray on the results of other teams. However, the Indian team is a contender from the start. Even against Sri Lanka, the Indian team is strong in every aspect. However, there is a problem with the playing XI of the Indian team. Some mistakes are still visible in the team. If the Indian team doesn’t pay attention to their mistakes and control them, the problems may increase.

India also needs to correct the flaws in its playing eleven, as the question is not only about the Asia Cup, but India’s preparations for the T20 World Cup are also underway. Now you must be thinking what are the shortcomings of the Indian playing eleven? So this flaw is more related to his performance than the player. Let’s take a look at those drawbacks.

These shortcomings of the playing eleven need to be overcome

As big as the opening duo of Rohit and Rahul are in India’s playing XI, their game has not lived up to their potential in recent times. While Rahul has struggled with form since returning from injury, Rohit’s performances have lacked consistency. This is not a good sign for Indian cricket.

Consistency is also a big factor in middle-order performances. Middle-order players have to understand their responsibilities, especially when they are playing against bigger teams. Otherwise, the same will happen in the match against Pakistan on September 4. Only the middle order failed in the batting, due to which India’s score could not go beyond 200 runs.
Indian team bowlers also need to understand their role. When not with the most senior bowlers in the team like Bumrah and Shami, the lesson needs to be learned quickly, how to perform and how to take wickets. Due to this, there will not be any kind of pressure on any bowler.
A playing eleven should have a clear idea of when, who and where to play. So that there is no confusion. The playing XI also needs to work on their approach.
