Mumbai: The opening of the young Indian Shafali Verma is an extraordinary front-foot player but he needs to work at his back leg to put pressure on Australians, former Indian Cricket Nooshin-al-Khader said on Wednesday.
Shafali can score only 8 runs at ODI first, who lost to visitors with nine-nines against Australia on Tuesday.
“I thought in ODI first, we saw that they (Australian citizens) were too short on his body (Shafali).
He needs to adapt and get his back foot shot well, because the Australians have read it, he is an extraordinary front leg player And he can damage, “Khadeer said.
“But if Shafali can go up to his back foot, I’m sure it will bring Australia on the back side …
he must work at his back leg now.” Khader, a former right hand dough and off-spinner, also supported by Captain Odi Mithali Raj, which is often criticized because of the slow level of attack.
“I think it’s very easy for us to sit and judge that the strike-rate is a problem, but as a Cricketers, do we realize the situation what he has followed a bat,” Khader said on a virtual call when asked about criticism of Mithali’s attack rate.
“I want to ask questions that say that it’s okay to dough to print 10 runs in 8 balls or doughs that can print 60-70 running, okay in the 100 balls that he has taken and contributed 60 runs, there is a difference in that.
“Raj, the world No.
1 Odi Batsman, has recorded fifth consecutive fifty on the first ODI against Australia.
He has also completed 20,000 career but he is often criticized because of the slow level of his attack.

Is the situation right to get the 100-120 attack rate and what happens,” Khadeer said, who also played 78 ODIS, 5 tests and 2 t20s.
The 40-year-old also showed a lack of intermediate exchange contributions.
“During a certain period of time, if we pass statistics, we have seen the middle order we have not contributed,” he said.
“So, if we go with a 100 break speed and we miss the innings, then there will be criticism that he is not told, does not contribute, so where the contribution of the middle order, we need to have people who contribute.” If not, we will see.
” India not even crossed 200 runs, “he turned on.
