Ryan ten Doeschate, India’s assistant coach, has brushed aside this minor concern for the time being, at least publicly. “He batted really well last night in the nets, he spent 90 minutes batting,” ten Doeschate said after India’s 17-run win over Netherlands on Wednesday. “You also have to give him a bit of space. He came into the group phase not feeling too well, he spent a few days in the hospital and missed the game [against Namibia]. It’s been a very disappointing tournament for him so far. But I saw some really good signs with his ball striking last night. So no worries about him, he’ll be fine when the second phase comes.”
