following the team’s Ranji Trophy semifinal loss to Mumbai.
According to the TN coach, we ought to have bowled, but the captain had some different ideas.Former Indian cricketer Dinesh Karthik is not happy about Tamil Nadu coach Sulakshan Kulkarni’s criticism of his captain R Sai Kishore after the team’s Ranji semifinal loss to Mumbai. Following Tamil Nadu’s loss to Mumbai in the tournament’s semi-finals, Karthik blasted the TN coach for using Sai Kishore as a scapegoat.
Kulkarni chastised Sai Kishore for being the reason behind Tamil Nadu’s batting collapse, which saw them bowled out for 146, after Kishore had won the toss and decided to bat first on a BKC field that looked green. With Shardul Thakur hitting an explosive century to take Mumbai to 378, they answered with a massive 232-run lead. With an innings and seventy runs to lose, TN’s second-inning reaction was appalling as they were bowled for 162.
“On Day 1, at nine o’clock, we lost the match. The skipper had some different instincts, therefore we should have bowled instead. I knew exactly what we would receive as soon as I saw the wicket. I knew the conditions well as a coach and as a Mumbaikar, so everything was set, and we won the toss. However, Kulkarni had remarked, “I can only take a horse to water; I cannot make it drink.
