India have so far won all four of their encounters, defeating Australia, Afghanan and Pakan before their triumph over Bangladesh. Their top order has clicked, the bowlers are chipping in with wickets. So far, not too much has gone wrong for the Indian team, barring Shubman Gill needing to spend a few games away due to dengue and Hardik Pandya’s injury.
However, former Australia cricketer Ian Healy believes that the Indian cricket team needs to save their enthusiasm. He said on an Australian radio show that he had a “new fear” for the Indian cricket team.
“If you see the energy that’s going into their wins, my fear is that they’re going to have an emotional letdown,” Healy said on SENQ Breakfast. “They’re putting a whole lot of (energy into it), they might just be overdoing it. The intensity, the gestures in the field when someone bowls a bad ball, the over-enthusiasm of good fielding efforts, all that sort of stuff. The crowd were going off at Pune. But I just worry for that (overdoing it), but yes they’ve got a great team.”Most Read

Healy then pointed at specific moments which he felt illustrated his point, such as when Virat Kohli pulled off a good bit of fielding.
“Virat goes in and does a great piece of fielding at short cover and the crowd go off, the team go off and he’s just done a good piece of fielding, stopping a little single. I just worry in the next half a dozen games, to go where they’re going, they need to go to another level. They won’t be playing against Bangladesh and then they need all their intensity (later in the tournament). Don’t waste it now.”
Australia will take on Pakan on Friday. They’re currently in sixth spot in the standings, with only the top four teams progressing to the semis.
