Manjrekar criticizes India’s reliance on all-rounders after Ireland loss

Sanjay Manjrekar expressed concerns over India's performance after a 0-2 T20I series defeat to Ireland. He noted the team's overdependence on all-rounders under head coach Gautam Gambhir, suggesting a need for a specialist middle-order batter. India struggled in both matches, with poor middle-order performances leading to early collapses. Ireland's wins mark their first T20I series victory against the reigning world champions. The team is looking to reassess its strategy moving forward.
