Bangalore: Former coach and captain Ajit Wadekar said on Tuesday that Gary Kirsten should step in to boost the confidence of his young batsmen who have been caught napping by the West Indies fast bowlers in the ongoing One-Day series.
"If you see the way the Indians batted in the second one-dayer, which they lost by eight wickets, the Indians, particularly the younger lot seems to be still in the Twenty20 mould. This is when the coach and the other members of the think-tank should step in and guide them to stay at the wicket and build their innings," Wadekar told Cricketenxt.com.
"After the West Indies quickies exposed the Indian batsmen's lack of technique against the short rising deliveries the coach, who himself was a very good hooker and puller during his playing days, should take the youngsters like Rohit Sharma, Gautam Gambhir, Ravindra Jadeja and Yusuf Pathan under his wings and make them work on the short pitched deliveries in the nets till they learn to either leave the bouncers alone or hook or pull them correctly
