Team India had to be embarrassed on Australian soil. The Kangaroos’ dream of winning the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the third consecutive time on their soil was shattered. Australia defeated the Indian team 3-1 in the 5-match test series. After the defeat, many questions are being asked about the team’s performance. While fans are criticizing Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, some former veteran players believe that Bumrah’s lack of support from the other end was also the main reason for the defeat. Sourav Ganguly’s statement has also come out regarding the poor performance of the Indian team. Dada has blamed the batsmen for Australia’s crushing defeat.
Who is responsible for the defeat?
Speaking to India Today, Sourav Ganguly blamed the batsmen for the defeat in Australia. Dada said, “We did not bat well. We have to bat better in Test cricket. If you don’t bat well you won’t be able to win a Test match. You cannot win a test match by scoring 170, 180 runs. You have to score 350 to 400 runs.
Let us tell you that the performance of Indian batsmen in the entire series was very shameful. Especially in the first innings, the Indian batsmen defeated the Kangaroo fast bowlers very easily, due to which the team had to suffer the consequences.
bad condition of batsmen
Indian batsmen disappointed with their performance in the Border-Gavaskar series. Captain Rohit Sharma scored only 31 runs in 5 innings at a meager average of 6. At the same time, Virat Kohli, who is called the run machine of Team India on Kangaroo soil, could score only 190 runs after playing 9 innings. Apart from one century, no big innings were seen from Virat’s bat.
KL Rahul, who was in good form in the first two Tests, started to decline as the series progressed. Rishabh Pant played some strong innings, but failed to take advantage of the good start every time. Ravindra Jadeja also completely failed to show his magic with the bat. Yashasvi Jaiswal was the only batsman who looked in form in this series.
