The Indian side have seen the emergence of an impressive crop of young batters in the longest format. Players like Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal, Shubman Gill and Hanuma Vihari have made a case for themselves at the highest level.
Speaking on his YouTube channel The Match Winner, Inzamam-ul-Haq said India’s overseas victories in the last two years have to be attributed to the coming of age of the young batters in the side.
Rishabh Pant played a couple of significant knocks on India’s tour of Australia. Ravindra Jadeja has rediscovered himself as a capable batter in addition to his abilities with the ball and in the field. KL Rahul has also been impressive in the ongoing series against England.
India’s three main players have not performed in the last 18-20 months, says Inzamam-ul-Haq
Inzamam ul Haq also delved in on the poor run of form of India’s three batting mainstays. Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane have struggled to score sizeably in the last two years other than the one-off performances here and there.
The former Pakistan batter believes India will be a much stronger side if this trio rediscover their mojo.
The three batters have just one century to show between them since the beginning of 2020. All three have averaged in the mid 20s during this period, which is much lower than their career averages.
