The Indian bowling coach also blamed the toss fate

The teams that batted later in the night matches of this year's T20 World Cup have got additional benefits. Due to the dew, it was difficult to bowl then. So toss has played an important role in determining the outcome of many matches. India's outgoing bowling coach Bharat Arun thinks it is 'unfair' for this to happen in miniature cricket. As well as that, according to him, the cricketers of the team that has been in the game for the last six months needed some rest before the World Cup.

India's star-studded batting line-up could not match itself in the first two matches of the Super Twelve. After scoring 151 against Pakistan, they were bowled out for 110 against New Zealand. Their opponents won the toss and elected to bowl first. Later, Pakistan and New Zealand did not have to rush to run as the wickets became easier for batting. In the third match too, India lost to Afghanistan by scoring a huge run on the scoreboard. After winning the toss against Scotland in the last match, Virat Kohli's team tied them for 75 runs and won in 8.3 overs. However, they are worried about reaching the semi-finals.

"The toss has played a very, very important role and I don't think the toss should have any effect in such a match (T20)," Arun told the media on Sunday, just before the last match of the Super Twelve against Namibia in Dubai.

‘Here (on UAE soil) the toss gives an unfair advantage and there is a huge difference between batting in the first innings and batting in the second innings. That should not be the case in miniature cricket.

India had to start preparing for the World Cup right after the last edition of the IPL. The cricketers did not get any rest. They were in the game throughout the year. There is also the fatigue and stress of being in the biosecurity zone. These were discussed from the beginning of the World Cup. After the loss to New Zealand, India's pacer Jaspreet Bumrah brought up the topic of biosecurity and the drawn game at the press conference.

In that tone, bowling coach Arun said the need for a break, 'It's very difficult to stay in the game for six months in a row. The players could not go home and I think they only got a short break after the last edition of the IPL (midway through due to coronavirus) was postponed.

'They have been in the biosecurity zone for six months and that is very tiring. To give a clear answer to your question, a short break between the IPL and the World Cup could have benefited the boys a lot.

There is intense uncertainty about the game in the semi-finals of title-seeking India. Kohli's farewell bell will ring for the T20 World Cup as soon as New Zealand wins against Afghanistan in Abu Dhabi.
