Yeah, thats probably a part of the reason, maybe even a big part. But on a more fundamental level, I don't think our batsmen are sold on the usefulness of singles. They think that the way to put up a large ODI total is to score a lot of 4s. Also, our poor quality domestic leagues and competitions also probably contribute to this. They get enough 4 balls to put away so they don't need to look to take too many singles. Just wait for the bad deliveries and put them away.
