'They thought it was a picnic': Ex-cricketer tears into Team India after Ireland shock

Former India opener Sadagoppan Ramesh has strongly criticized Team India's complacent approach following their unexpected 34-run loss to Ireland. He believes the team underestimated their opponents, prioritizing the upcoming England series over the T20I opener. Ramesh highlighted Ireland's smart execution, particularly with short-pitched bowling on larger grounds, and pointed to India's sloppy fielding and overconfidence as key factors in the shocking defeat.
