Former Indian Pacer Sreesanth Bashes at Simon Doull for Stat Jibe
The former New Zealand cricketer and commentator caused quite a stir with his outrageous remarks against Rohit Sharma and Co. while going into the ICC World Cup. He had said that India doesn't fancy playing fearless cricket. Doull stumped several cricket fans while weighing India's chances at the One Day International World Cup.
Questioning the state of doubt about Team India, former India pacer Sreesanth blasted New Zealand and claimed that the Kiwis just got lucky in the 2019 semi-finals.
Sreesanth said, “New Zealand is coming to India. They will get to know if India plays attacking cricket or not. We will thrash them. They got lucky in 2019, with MS Dhoni getting run out due to a direct hit. What did you do after playing the final? They made a team like England win the World Cup, which hadn't won a 50-over World Cup until then. New Zealand are never going to win. Yes, they might win in the future, but it will be embarrassing for them this time. If you get a chance to address the media, please think before you speak. If you are ready to give, you should be able to take it too.
He further added, “I just want to tell Simon Doull that Indians are going to have a blast against New Zealand. New Zealand is going to learn a lot against India. Yes, there have been certain matches where they have done well against us, especially in ICC events. But those times have gone now. If any of these cricketers get to know what you said, and if Virat is made aware of it, it will be a lot of fun to watch that match.”
