India bowling coach says T20 batting plans will not always execute
India bowling coach flags execution issues after middle-order wobble against Thailand.
India’s bowling coach said the team will not execute its batting plans in every T20 innings after the side lost wickets in clusters against Thailand. Shafali Verma’s 64 had laid a platform before the middle order faltered on a turning pitch in Dubai.
Kranti Gaud’s unbeaten 15 helped India reach 150 before they bowled Thailand out to win by 94 runs. The coach emphasised that assessments on turning tracks remain necessary despite the comfortable victory in the Women’s Asia Cup opener.
Shafali Verma said the batting unit must review its approach after the middle-order collapse. India face further matches on similar surfaces in the tournament.

The coach’s comment signals that India’s middle-order depth remains untested on slow, turning pitches that will appear again in the tournament.
