'Need to do more to beat India' - Du Plessis, Kumble say WI 'played it safe'

West Indies cricket legends Faf du Plessis and Anil Kumble have expressed concerns over the team's overly cautious approach in their recent matches against India. They noted that the West Indies did not exploit India's weaknesses, particularly in relation to their sixth bowling option, which has been a point of contention for the Indian team. Du Plessis emphasized the need for a more aggressive strategy, suggesting that the West Indies must take calculated risks to challenge India effectively. Kumble echoed this sentiment, highlighting that a more dynamic approach could have forced India into uncomfortable situations. The duo's remarks come in the wake of the West Indies' disappointing performances, which have underscored the need for a shift in tactics if they hope to compete at a higher level. As the teams prepare for future encounters, there is a growing call for the West Indies to adopt a bolder mindset to elevate their game and pose a serious challenge to one of cricket's top sides.
