Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif has criticized the Indian batsmen. The 43-year-old former cricketer, after suffering a historic clean sweep against New Zealand, said that our batsmen could not play the average spinners of New Zealand. Taking his point forward, Kaif said that spinners like Ajaz Patel can be found in every local club of Delhi, whereas Glenn Phillips is a part-time spinner.
In this series, Indian batsmen were seen struggling against the average spin bowling of the Kiwis. Apart from Rishabh Pant (261 runs), no other Indian batsman could score more than 200 runs.
