India's fearless cricket in South Africa T20I series praised by coach Laxman, emphasizing strong global fan support.
India stand-in head coach V.V.S. Laxman said his side has been playing "fearless" cricket in the ongoing T20I series against South Africa, and for him, the primary reason behind the wholehearted support the visitors receive anywhere across the globe.
India are leading the four-match T20I series 2-1 and the final match will be played here at the Wanderers later this day.
“What we have seen in these three matches is the fearless approach of this team,” Laxman said during a reception hosted for the Indian team here on Thursday night.
Laxman said entertaining the fans is an important part of the game along with winning the matches.
“During any tours to any foreign country, we play and try to entertain the crowd. And we always feel that we are playing at home.
“The reason for that is all the wonderful fans of the Indian cricket team – the diaspora of India who settled down in various countries but still love the Indian team and the Indian cricketers,” he added.
“I don’t know if the support was for the home team or for our team (in SA). There was a lot more blue in the crowd than actually green,” Laxman said.
