In an interview with Poknal Times of India, he said, “I think India has struggled to adapt to the conditions in the WTC Final. From a bowling standpoint, I think the New Zealand bowlers were a little more consistent. Therefore, his lack of good form is a major factor in India’s defeat.

Asked if you think India should have gone with some changes in the playing XI, Coach replied, “It’s easy for India to play another fast bowler. I say this because he knew the conditions were right for the fast bowlers. But I have said before the match that India should play with two spinners because I think it is a good chance to win. It is always challenging for the leader and coach to act boldly and sometimes make such decisions.
