Tanvir Ahmed, the former Pakistan pacer, has raised concerns following India's disappointing performance in their recently concluded ODI series against Sri Lanka. 

According to the recent reports of Cricket Pakistan, Tanvir highlighted the significant vulnerabilities in India's batting lineup, particularly against spin bowling. 

Throughout the series against Lanka Lions, the Men in Blue lost 27 wickets to Sri Lankan spinners, with only Rohit Sharma consistently showcased confidence and temperament against the turning ball.


Tanvir Ahmed Takes 'Brutal Dig' At India's Batting Against Spinners

Tanvir Ahmed's comments reflect his concerns about the current state of India's batting lineup, particularly in challenging conditions. 

He noted that, aside from experienced players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, the newer and younger members of the team struggle to adapt to pitches that offer turn, seam, and swing. 

He also added that the Indian batters have missed crucial opportunities to score runs on difficult pitches, that indicate larger problems within the team. 

"You see what happens to the Indian batting lineup from here on in the future. The bowling lineup might work it out but the batting lineup will find it difficult. All the new batters in this Indian team at the moment, barring Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, they cannot carry forward this batting lineup in the future," Tanvir said.

 Furthermore, Ahmed also stated a strong message to the Indian team and the BCCI, that they should focus on their performances rather than critiquing Pakistan.

"First look into your own performances and then have suggestions on Pakistan. If Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah does not play against Pakistan, Pakistan will beat India hands down," he added. 

In the recent ODI, India lost the series 2-0, Rohit Sharma and Co lost the second match by 32 runs and the third by 110 runs after the first game ended in a tie. This shocking loss to Sri Lanka, especially in home conditions, has raised concerns about India's readiness for upcoming challenges.
