Asia Cup 2018: Lessons for Team India from the tie against Afghanistan

#6 Running between the wickets

Jadhav was one of the batsmen who was run-out

The running between the wickets has not been so good for the Indians in the entire tournament. Even in their two matches against Pakistan, the Indians were erratic in their running between the wickets. Thankfully for them, the Pakistanis missed a lot of direct hits which could have resulted in run- outs. But against a better fielding unit like Afghanistan, it was a different story as they lost three wickets through run -outs. The Indians should not repeat such mistakes in the finals.

Looking back, drawing level with Afghanistan is not at all a bad result for India. It is not the end of the world. On the other hand, it is a blessing in disguise and a wake-up call for the Indians ahead of the finals. Now it is up to them to learn from their mistakes and come back as a better team for the finals.
