Former India captain, Sourav Ganguly has come down heavily on the Indian batsmen for their lack of aggression in the run chase against Pakistan in the 2nd ODI at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. India lost the match by a whopping 85 runs and with it the series and Ganguly blamed the Indian skipper's negative approach for the pathetic loss.
"The Pakistan spinners were exemplary, but what surprised me was the lack of intent to attack on part of the Indian batting. They should have played more positively. They came with the mindset that 250 is not a big score, so bat 50 overs and win," wrote Ganguly for a newspaper column.
"Though the Pakistan bowlers bowled better in this game than they have done at any other time in the series, it is important to play every ball on merit and the Indians just went into their shell. They looked like a batting unit short on confidence."
