New Delhi: Indian veteran Sanjay Manjekar has given his opinion on the crushing defeat of the Indian team in the first match of the Test series against New Zealand. Criticizing the team's fast bowling, Manjrekar has said that Team India's fast bowlers had failed miserably to face New Zealand's challenge well.
Under the leadership of Jasprit Bumrah, the Indian fast bowler failed to make an impact in the Wellington Test and could only take 7 wickets in his bag. Out of this, five wickets were in the name of Ishant Sharma alone, while Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami got only one wicket each. Manjrekar said in the tweet that where did the Indian bowlers miss out. He said in his tweet, "Why did the New Zealand fast bowlers get more swing than the Indian bowlers. Because of this pitch, a special angle of the wrist was needed to swing the ball. Even after all three seamers of India were high class Actually there were no out-swing bowlers. "
