New Delhi: India batting coach Vikram Rathour has made a revelation about the team and why they are continuously failing in the mega events. In the recent times, India has lost many games as they failed to defend their targets despite setting it at a decent level.
Rathour has cited ‘dew’ as the main factor behind the failure of the team in defending at times.
“We are working on that area of getting better at defending targets. But to be fair to our bowlers, toss plays a vital role and every time we have not been able to defend are the places where there has been dew, so it gets easier to chase,” said Rathour.

Won’t be harsh on bowlers – Vikram Rathour
”I won’t be harsh on bowlers as they have been able to push the match till last over, every time, when we are looking to defend. It’s one ball here and there, but of course we are doing pretty well but hopefully we will get better,” said the batting coach.
Rathour has admitted that India are putting all the efforts and it is just the outside factor that mostly affects the game.
“Definitely, it depends on the surface that we are playing on but when you say we haven’t been able to put up good scores, I don’t agree with that.

Batting first was one concern
“I think batting first that was one of the concerns during the last T20 World Cup but since then, we have been putting up par or par plus scores every time that we have batted first. So I don’t think that’s an issue.”
While talking about the plans of the bowlers, Rathour said, “At this level, we are not telling them anything. Arsh (Arshdeep Singh) has done extremely well in IPL in death overs, so we just support them to follow plans. They know where to bowl to each batter and follow their plans.”
