Former cricketers Shane Watson, Nasser Hussain and Wasim Akram slammed India’s ‘timid’ batting approach following team’s embarrassing exit from the T20 World Cup here on Thursday. England hammered India by 10 wickets with Alex Hales and Jos Buttler striking powerful half-centuries.

As it was the case in the Group stage, India played conservatively in the powerplay managing only 38 while England’s approach was the opposite as they raced to 63 in six overs. “India were too timid with the bat. Unfortunately, Rohit and KL have not been able to take the game on in the first six overs. They have got the firepower, but you have to take the game on in T20 cricket,” ex-Australia player Watson told Star Sports.
