Ganganagar (Meerut). Madanlal Sharma, a member of the 1983 Cricket World Cup team, said that senior players have moved away from domestic cricket. For this reason they are struggling on Indian pitches. The result was a crushing defeat against New Zealand. On Monday, he had come to participate in a program at IIMT University. Madanlal, who took the wickets of West Indies' legendary batsman Desmond Haynes, Vivian Richards and Larry Gomes in the World Cup final, advised the youth to play with concentration.
Madan Lal was welcomed at IIMT University by Chancellor Yogesh Mohan Gupta and Pro Chancellor Dr. Mayank Aggarwal. He said that our team is among the best teams in the world. The pitches of Mumbai and Pune were not good. Due to this also the batsmen were seen struggling. Both the matches ended in just three days. This is not a good sign for the test match. He said about Team India captain Rohit Sharma that a player cannot be called useless because of one poor performance.
On the question of not being able to play spin, he said that nowadays players play less domestic cricket, whereas the best practice of spin balls comes from domestic matches. Good practice with different pitches helps the player to progress further. He also mentioned not getting time for domestic cricket. He said that due to the continuous series of T-20, ODI and Test matches, players do not get enough time to improve themselves. Said for Australia tour that we will face the most dangerous team in the world. The wickets are also different there. There senior players will have to prove themselves.
decision making ability test
On the use of technology, Madanlal said that it helps in sports, but only our brain has the ability to take decisions at the right time. A captain is tested in every match. Good decisions lead the team to victory. He said that the fitness of the players also matters a lot.
There is no retake on the field for the player
On the question of the upcoming cricket hero, he said that there is a difference between a film hero and a player. Heroes show their skills in films. At the same time, players on the field, yes players do not get a retake on the field. He said that when our team won the World Cup in 1983, we came to know how much people love us. He called the film 83 the best movie.
