Ex-Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali has voiced his criticism towards the Indian cricket team, accusing them of overconfidence and an inability to handle both spin and pace bowling during their recent Test series loss to New Zealand. This loss marked India’s first home Test series defeat in over a decade, with the batting lineup’s shortcomings being a significant factor. In a video on his YouTube channel, Basit Ali highlighted the struggles faced by the Indian batsmen against the pace of New Zealand’s fast bowlers and the spin-friendly conditions, which contributed to their defeat in both matches of the series.
