UPW Coach Nayar Admits "Foolish" Blunder in Batting Order Against RCB

  • UP Warriorz (UPW) coach Abhishek Nayar took responsibility for a batting order change against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the WPL.
  • Harleen Deol was promoted to open, while Kiran Navgire was demoted to number four, a decision Nayar now calls a "blunder."
  • The Deol-Meg Lanning opening partnership scored only 21 runs, and UPW managed a total of 143/5, leading to a significant loss.
  • Nayar explained the decision was based on anticipating swing and providing solidity, but acknowledged it didn't work out.
  • This marks the second consecutive loss for UPW, despite having a balanced squad.

Why It Matters: UPW coach Abhishek Nayar admitted his batting order change against RCB was a mistake, taking full responsibility.
