In each the video games, the 2 Mumbaikars Shaw and Sarfaraz, who’ve been prolific batters on the home degree, appeared to have struggled towards the likes of Mark Wood (LSG), Mohammed Shami and Alzarri Joseph (GT), all of whom can bowl at 145 plus kmph, and get motion and soar at excellent pace.
“I mean they (Shaw and Sarfaraz) have got runs against fast bowling. I don’t think we batted well so why point out one or two guys,” Agarkar stated.
For Agarkar, all the most sensible order must step up.
“None of our top order players really got going in both the games. We haven’t had big runs at the top which some of the other teams have.”
After being in a tangle towards brief ball through Wood within the first sport, Sarfaraz used to be hit at the head through Alzarri and umpires known as for a concussion test as he struggled to get to 30 off 33 balls.
“No point picking individuals, collectively we haven’t been good on both nights and we need to improve as we are playing against some good teams. So a lot of credit to Gujarat but we need to bat collectively as a unit to get results,” he reasoned.

“We are talking about Prithvi Shaw who has got a Test hundred on debut. He is not playing IPL for the first time. So again why pick on people?
“When you lose, it isn’t on account of one or two other folks. I feel it’s important to settle for collective effort hasn’t been excellent this night (Tuesday) and you have got to just accept it. We have were given workforce to do it. We simply wish to follow ourselves higher,” he said.
Agarkar insisted that Sarfaraz’s runs in domestic cricket cannot be viewed in isolation.
“We are speaking about two individuals who have were given lots of runs. There aren’t any doubts that it is other same old while you play home cricket after which come to IPL. But as a result of you’ve scored lots of runs (in home cricket) and feature completed that sooner than. It’s all about changes.”
Both have played multiple editions of IPL and even got runs.
“Not like they’re taking part in IPL for the primary time. Then you might want to ask the query (of no longer measuring up). They have completed it sooner than and they’re going to get proper. At the instant we have not however they’re going to give a boost to,” Agarkar stated.
