‘Yeh jyada hi sach bolne laga hai’ – Fans react to Venkatesh Prasad’s viral tweet slamming Team India’s recent performance in ODIs and T20Is
Team India suffered a six-wicket loss in the second ODI against West Indies on 29 July and fans were left fuming with such a result. Now, both teams will look to win the series decider on 1 August 2023. But, now, regarding the Men in Blue’s form recently in both the white-ball formats, the former India pacer came up on social media.
He shared two tweets and slammed the team. He claimed that the team lost the recent ODI series against South Africa, Bangladesh, and Australia. They even performed badly in the last two 20-20 World Cups. Seeing such tweets from Prasad, fans shared their views on social media.
Here is the shared tweet:
Despite the money and power, we have become used to celebrating mediocrity and are far from how champion sides are. Every team plays to win and so does India but their approach and attitude is also a factor for underperformance over a period of time.

“We didn’t bat the way we were supposed to.” – Hardik Pandya
He wrote: “Test cricket aside, India has been very ordinary in the other two formats for quite sometime now. Lost odi series against ban, SA and Aus. Poor in the last two T20 World Cups. Neither are we an exciting team like England nor brutal like how the Aussies used to be. Despite the money and power, we have become used to celebrating mediocrity and are far from how champion sides are. Every team plays to win and so does India but their approach and attitude is also a factor for underperformance over a period of time.”
However, it was a frustrating result for the team and fans. Both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli got rested also. But, that decision proved to be costly as batters failed miserably and they got bundled out for just 181 runs. After the loss, stand-in skipper, Hardik Pandya said: “We didn’t bat the way we were supposed to. The wicket was better than it was in the first game. Everyone barring Shubman hit fielders and got out. Disappointing but many things to learn. The way our openers batted, especially Ishan, struck it well and is good for India. Shardul got us back in with his bowling.”
Here is how fans have reacted to the tweets shared by the former pacer:

England’s brand of cricket is something else. But is it possible for Indian players when the bench is as strong as starting 11
