News India Live, Digital Desk: Has the pain of the crushing defeat in the Perth Test gone from your heart? Probably not. Being an Indian cricket fan, it is not easy to see your team surrendering like this. And this pain is not only for us, but also for the biggest match winners of Indian cricket. Anil Kumble Is feeling it too.
The next match is in Adelaide, and the atmosphere is very hot. In such a situation, former captain Kumble sir, popularly known as ‘Jumbo’, has shown a mirror to Team India. He has said in clear words, “Nothing will be achieved by talking big outside the field, show your strength inside the field.”
Let us know what ‘Guru Mantra’ Kumble has given to the players before the second test.
“Walk the Talk” – Kumble’s direct advice
We often see players say in pre-match press conferences, “We are ready to bounce”, “We will counterattack”. But everyone saw what happened in Perth. Anil Kumble says that now the team “Walk the Talk” Will have to do.
In simple language it means – “Whatever you are saying through your mouth, do it.” Kumble believes that a team like Australia cannot be defeated by mere statements. The Australian team becomes dangerous on its own soil; to defeat them, performance is not needed, not words.
“We will have to fight, laying down arms will not help.”
Anil Kumble is the player who showed the world what ‘passion’ is by bowling with a broken jaw. He sees the same deficiency in today’s Team India.
He has advised that the team in the second test ‘Fighting Spirit’ Have to show.
- Advice to batsmen: “Stay on the pitch. If you are not scoring runs in a session, it doesn’t matter. Don’t throw away your wicket.”
- Advice to bowlers: “Don’t let the Australian batsmen dominate you. Play eye to eye.”
Kumble says that winning and losing is a part of the game, but accepting defeat without a fight is not acceptable to Indian fans. You have to show through your body language that you are here to win, not just to complete a formality.
reputation is at stake
The Adelaide Test could be not just a match but the last chance to make a comeback in the series. Kumble has warned that if Team India’s attitude remains lax here too, Australia will show no mercy.
Rohit Sharma and his team should take this ‘class’ of Kumble seriously. Enough talk, now is the time to speak out in the war that will start from 26th November.
