India assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate refused to shield his players after India’s comprehensive seven-wicket defeat against New Zealand in the second ODI, stating the match exposed glaring flaws in the team’s bowling attack. He pointed out ineffective bowling, particularly from the spinners, and stressed that India failed collectively rather than as individuals. New Zealand chased the target comfortably, losing only three wickets, with India’s bowlers struggling to build pressure. Pacers Harshit Rana and Prasidh Krishna picked up two wickets, while Kuldeep Yadav claimed one. Daryl Mitchell’s composed knock earned him the Player of the Match award. (PC: NDTV)
