India’s unbelievable batting collapse has shocked the entire
world. Kohli, the best batsman in the world, nicked two catches in gully and
got out scoring only 4 runs. Pujara, the world’s best wall after Dravid got out
at zero. 7 batsman nicked catches behind the wicket. Unbelievable!
During Covid quarantine period, it is difficult to assume
that the Indian players went for late night drinking bouts or have good time
with opposites. This was the explanation that we heard in past debacles. With
Manager, coaches and CCTV, it was even more difficult to eat, drink and be
merry at will. Then, how it is that none of the players were focused? It looked
as if the Indian batsmen had disoriented vision. Yes, I am talking of double
vision. They were seeing two balls coming at them. How this was possible? Not
one, not two but all the 11 players were having double vision.
Youngest the player,
higher was their scoring. Agrawal made 9, Shaw scored 4 and Vihari scored 7.
Was there something evil that bothered or drowsed the old veterans more ?
The Indian outplayed the host in the first inning taking a lead of 53 runs while the host had a cake walk in the second innings. Everything went excellently smooth for the winners on a wearing out pitch.
Having said that let us stich a story for explanation.
Austrians are notorious for their mischief. I saw, decades
ago, Captain Ponting fighting for a floored catch. Very recently, three players
including the captain were punished for ball tampering. Therefore, I asked
Sherlock Holmes for and explanation. He said mockingly that it was elementary.
A single person from the contingent controlling the kitchen exclusively pipe lined for
Indian Squad, could go berserk and do such mischief. Drug sprinkled on food items or injected into drinksing bottles can cause drowsiness for hours together.Xamas is one such drug used for eye
ailments which causes at least 6 hours of very little blurred vision. That could create trouble while facing pace swingers and cutters. None of the Indian players suspected but owned the blunder onto themselves. Nobody sent the food stuff or drinks for chemical analysis.
If dope test could be called for then why distancing from random drug test more so when such disaster happen ?
Watch again to build your opinion !
