Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif said that Team India’s biggest concern in recent times has been their bowling, but the focus has shifted to Rohit Sharma and his future. The Indian team suffered their third ODI series loss under Shubman Gill in the space of a year after their 27-run loss to England in the final ODI match at Lord’s on Sunday, July 19.

“The real problem in the Indian team is the bowling. We have to aim for the eye of the fish, and instead we are aiming at Rohit Sharma’s form and all that nonsense. If we look at this tour, our bowling has been quite behind. So, we have to work a lot on our bowling. We are focused completely on the wrong thing, saying things about Rohit Sharma, this and that. But if we want to win the World Cup, do we have a bowling that can defend 250? When the batters fail, will the bowlers complement them?” Mohammad Kaif said on Cricbuzz.

“Shubman Gill and Gautam Gambhir, after this tour, should focus on the bowlers, the fielding, the injuries. All of these injuries are happening, who will take responsibility for that? So, apart from Rohit, there are so many major aspects which we should focus on and rectify them,” he further added.

Team India captain Shubman Gill also opined on Team India’s poor bowling effort, especially towards the end, where they gave away 82 runs off the last five overs. Jos Buttler played a cameo of 41 runs off 13 deliveries to take England closer to the 400-run mark.

“We gave too many runs in the last three overs. Gave around 60 runs, I think. That’s where the game went a little bit too far ahead from usI think in this match particularly, we didn’t bowl well, especially in the powerplay. I think we bowled too many off deliveries in the powerplay,” Shubman Gill said during the post-match presentation.
