Team Wants Fearless, Not Careless Cricket: Rathour

Captaincy is a new stepping stone in my career: de Kock

- Rakesh Rao

It doesn’t require a brilliant cricketing brain to separate ‘fearless’ from ‘careless’ when batting. But some youngsters of the present Indian team need the difference to be spelt out.

On Tuesday, India’s newly appointed batting coach Vikram Rathour put it in as many words. “All the young players need to understand that there is a fine line between fearless cricket and careless cricket.

“What the team management is asking from them is fearless cricket, having clear a gameplan and playing with intent. At the same time, you can’t be careless.”
