This match is very stressful… Team India’s batting coach Sitanshu Kotak bluntly

New Delhi. India’s batting coach Sitanshu Kotak said that there will be pressure on the team in the Super Eight match of the T20 World Cup against Zimbabwe, but he is confident that the players will handle it well. After losing to South Africa in Ahmedabad, India will have to win the remaining two matches to reach the semi-finals. After Zimbabwe, India will play West Indies in Kolkata on Sunday.

Sitanshu Kotak said, ‘If the World Cup is being held in India, it is normal to have pressure and expectations. Be it any international match, there is always pressure. This match is very stressful. But Kotak has full faith in the mental strength of Indian players. He said, ‘We lost a match because there was not a good partnership. People talk about pressure, but I think our players can handle pressure. If we want to win the World Cup, we will have to face pressure.

Sitanshu Kotak said that India will continue to stick to aggressive batting strategy in future also. He said, ‘We will continue to play the same kind of cricket. We have to remain positive and play the same cricket which has brought us success. There will be no change in our attitude.

Indian team’s batting coach Sitanshu Kotak said that middle-order batsman Rinku Singh can join the team later. Due to his father’s ill health, Rinku had gone to Delhi on Tuesday. Kotak said, ‘Rinku’s father was not well, so he had to leave the team. I think he will be back by this evening.

Things have been difficult so far for Abhishek, who is in great form before this big ICC tournament. He has scored only 15 runs in four matches at an average of 3.75 and strike-rate of 75.
