Srikkanth says Ferguson 'finishes New Zealand' after two costly T20I outings
Srikkanth blamed Ferguson for New Zealand's struggles after the pacer leaked 71 runs across six wicketless overs in the first two T20Is.
Former India captain Kris Srikkanth criticised New Zealand pacer Lockie Ferguson after the hosts fell 0-2 behind in the T20I series. Ferguson conceded 71 runs in six wicketless overs across the first two matches in Christchurch. Srikkanth said Ferguson feeds runs and that nobody fears his pace anymore. He added that New Zealand's attack lacks threat apart from spinners Mitchell Santner and Michael Bracewell. The third T20I takes place in Wellington on Tuesday.

Ferguson's struggles highlight how T20 cricket has shifted away from raw pace toward variations and control. New Zealand's spinners remain effective, but the pace attack's inability to contain scoring is costing matches.
