XtraTime Web Desk: Former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly critisised Indian team management for losing the test series against England.
He also said that coach Ravi Shastri and batting coach Sanjay Bangar have to be answerable for India’s failure to win the series and if they fail to do so, the dreams of an overseas win for the team will remain a dream in the near future.

Cheteswar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane failed to perform well in the series. Skipper Kohli was outstanding. “I believe that the batting ability of the current players has gone down. There are a lot of reasons for this. Firstly, the players are short of confidence, whether you look at (Cheteshwar) Pujara or (Ajinkya) Rahane, you’ll find that four years ago, the latter was matching Kohli shot-by-shot in Adelaide which is not the case at the moment. The same goes for Pujara too,” the former India captain said.

Shastri has to be accountable for the results while Bangar has to be answerable on why Kohli looks at ease while his teammates are struggling to score runs.
“Regarding Ravi Shastri, he has to be held accountable for the results along with Sanjay Bangar regarding why only one batsman is performing whereas others seem to have taken backward steps. Unless these questions are answered an overseas series win in the three countries looks impossible for India,” he added.
