The Indian cricket team's tour of Australia has so far been met with disappointment. After losing the first ODI in Perth and then suffering another defeat in Adelaide, Australia has clinched the three-match ODI series with an unassailable 2-0 lead. The Indian squad has now arrived in Sydney for the third and final ODI, scheduled for October 25.
Players' 'Casual' Demeanor
Upon their arrival in Sydney, the behavior of some Indian players has raised eyebrows. Despite the series loss, there was no visible sign of disappointment on their faces. Videos and pictures circulating on social media show Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav,. And Dhruv Jurel indulging in lighthearted fun and making reels on the streets. This attitude has surfaced at a time when Team India is facing consecutive defeats and staring at the possibility of a clean sweep.
Questions on Conduct
This 'fun time' by the players after a series loss has become a subject of debate among fans and experts. Many believe that during such a critical period, with the team having already lost the series, players should exhibit more seriousness and commitment. It's worth noting that among the three, only Arshdeep Singh played in both previous ODIs, while Kuldeep Yadav and Dhruv Jurel are yet to get an opportunity in the series. However, as part of the team, a sense of remorse for the team's defeat is expected.
Upcoming Challenge
Now, the Indian team faces the challenge of avoiding a clean sweep in the upcoming third ODI in Sydney. This incident has added further pressure on the players to perform their best on the field and not disappoint their fans.
