Bedi also called the Indian team’s strategy to opt for four spinners and one seamer as “myopic”. “Indians may have to pay for myopic strategy,” Bedi wrote.
The veteran cricketer feels that it is fine that the skipper MS Dhoni has decided to “dig (his) own grave” but he shouldn’t take “Indian cricket along” while the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) remains “silent”. del
