IND vs SA LIVE: Gambhir points out big flaw in Rahul’s captaincy- Former India cricketer Gautam Gambhir was critical of India captain KL Rahul after India lost the ODI opener. He felt the bowlers alone can’t be targeted but it’s the captain’s responsibility to prove the right field. He was unimpressed after Temba Bavuma & Rassie van der Dussen shared a record 204 runs partnership. He said that he would’ve liked to see more attacking approach from KL Rahul.

“One thing I would’ve wanted to see is attacking fielding placements. I expected a slip, gully, and gully point for Yuzvendra Chahal after Aiden Markram was dismissed. When Ashwin came in to bowl, you could’ve put a leg slip or short-leg in place. You don’t want to necessarily get the batsmen out; the point is that the bowler will only bowl according to the field set for him,” Gambhir said on Star Sports.
‘KL Rahul has got only 24 hours to turn it around’: Dale Steyn
Meanwhile, Dale Steyn felt that KL Rahul needs to get better at a few things. “If you look at KL, I don’t think he did anything wrong with his captaincy. But there were just those little differences, the little bit of planning that was the difference between India and the Proteas. South Africa were walking up to the bowlers, India stayed in their crease. It’s the little things KL is going to get better at,” Steyn said during the Byju’s Cricket Live Show after the match.
“He has got only 24 hours to turn this whole thing around. So today was a good day for them. They must have learnt from South Africa what they did right,” added Steyn.
