Bally Chohan T20 World Cup Updates – Blame it on IPL

May 12th, 2010

So finally India is out of contention for the T20 world Cup. Bally Chohan feels that this was India’s worst performance in the recent times. The Indian team has really let down its fans in a big way. Bally Chohan went all the way to West Indies to support his favourite team but has to return back disappointed. Bally Chohan says that he is not feeling disheartened by India’s exit from T20 world cup rather he is upset with the attitude of Indian cricket team. It never looked like as if they are playing to win. The Indian team always looked like playing for just passing out their time.

Bally Chohan says that is it right to blame IPL for India’s poor show at the World Cup. Indian T20 team captain told media persons during post match press conference that he feels that this poor showing by Indian team has something to do with the late night parties during IPL.

In yesterday’s crucial match Indian team was needed to win the match by a margin of twenty runs. Bally Chohan feels that the Indian team was very much in driving seat for the first ten over’s of the match. At the end of tenth over the scoreboard for Indian team was reading at 91 runs for the loss of one wicket only. Only if Indian team could well have played sensibly they may well have scored somewhat around 200 runs. However the highly rated Indian batting line up could score only seventy three runs in the last ten overs. Moreover they managed to score only 37 runs in the last five overs. This was India’s one of the worst T20 performances.

India’s weakness to play short rising balls was for everyone to see in the tournament. Almost every team that played against India scored on this weakness of India.

Bally Chohan says that now is the time for Indian selectors to take some tough and positive decisions. Players like Yuvraj, Yousuf Pathan and Nehra should make way for more enthusiastic and energetic youngsters. The Board of Control for Cricket in India must act now and must decisively.
