New Delhi: Former Team India selector Sarandeep Singh feels that the Men in Blue are missing the spark and aggression which they had under Virat Kohli's captaincy. Sarandeep's remarks came after South Africa defeated India by seven wickets in the second ODI to gain an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series on Friday.
"India were favourites from day one not only in Test matches but even in the ODIs. The way they lost the Test matches. In the second Test India lost badly but only thing is it is not about the players. It is about captaincy too the way we thought KL Rahul will be very cool and calm but if you see Virat's captaincy then he was very energetic and pumped up. In the same way the team used to play as all the players were pumped up but now what I feel sitting from outside is somehow Indian team is missing that spark. They don't have that spark and that energy is not there," Sarandeep told ANI.
