During a discussion, Doull told Sky Sports –

“Fearless cricket is their issue. They don’t play fearless cricket enough. They play statistics-driven cricket and they are too worried about their stats too often. And to me that is the one area I am concerned about their batting side.

Doull added – “They have got all the talent and some of the best players if not the best players in the world. But it is about playing the fearless cricket at the right time of the tournament. And I think that is what had really let them down in the last few World Cups.”

Hussain said – “They got to go above par they have got to play a bit of fearless cricket. When you get to the knockouts stage. I think they are in the knockout stage, when they got to a semifinal and the pressure is on that’s when they still need to play fearless cricket.

Hussain added –

“If you look at the squad I mean they have got two of the greatest white ball batters, there has ever been in the game. Rohit Sharma has three double hundreds in this format and Virat Kohli is a great player in any situation but the greatest player in a run chase you would want.”
