Manjrekar Identifies 3 Key Areas for India's T20 World Cup Improvement After SA Loss
•Sanjay Manjrekar advised India to "be humble" and identified three areas for improvement after their Super Eight loss to South Africa.
•He noted India struggled against spin, losing four wickets to spinners and scoring only 29 runs in four overs.
•Indian batsmen also struggled against pacers who reduced their speed, with captain Suryakumar Yadav particularly affected.
•Manjrekar suggested reordering the batting line-up to prioritize players proficient against spin and moving Tilak Varma lower.
•He recommended strengthening the bowling attack by including a consistent wicket-taker like Kuldeep Yadav, especially after Varun Chakravarthy's expensive spell.
