Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif criticized Indian batsmen. The 43-year-old former cricketer, after suffering a historic clean sweep against New Zealand, said our batsmen cannot play against New Zealand’s medium spinners. Going further, Kaif said that spinners like Ajaz Patel can be found in all local clubs in Delhi, while Glenn Phillips is a part-time spinner.
Kaif posted a video on social media platform Team India suffered a 3-0 defeat in the 3-match Test series against New Zealand. In this series, Indian batsmen were seen struggling against the average spin bowling of the Kiwis. Apart from Rishabh Pant (261 runs), the other Indian batsmen could not score more than 200 runs.
Highlights of Kaif…
Glenn Phillips works part time and doesn’t know how to throw good balls. We lost to part-timers, not to the best spin bowlers. People should say that Ijaz took 22 wickets at the Wankhede Stadium. He can’t even land the ball correctly. Ijaz bowled only two good balls in an over and took wickets. The defeat in the final test is shameful. There were no bowlers in the New Zealand team during the Mumbai Test. Mitchell Santner played well. The bowling that Santner bowled in Pune was one of the best performances in the Test match.
Ajaz Patel was New Zealand’s leading wicket-taker in this Test series against India. He took 11 wickets in the third Test played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. He took 5 wickets in the first innings and 6 wickets in the second innings.
Ajaz Patel took all 10 wickets of the innings at Wankhede. Ajaz Patel took all 10 wickets in the innings against India on the 2021 tour. He then became the third bowler in the world to do so in the history of Test cricket. The Englishman Jim Laker and the Indian Anil Kumble achieved this feat.
Who is Ejaz Patel? Ejaz is a resident of Mumbai. His family moved to New Zealand 28 years ago. Ejaz was then 8 years old. Ejaz did his schooling in New Zealand itself. He played cricket for Auckland. He represented the Central District. Ijaz made his first-class debut with this team in 2012.
Ijaz took 48 wickets in 9 matches in the Plunket Shield tournament. Due to his excellent performances, he was also voted the New Zealand National Player of the Year.
