Before the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, former Australian captain Ian Chappell has given a big statement about the Indian team’s experienced batsmen Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Let us tell you that both these players have been struggling with very poor form for some time. However, it is very important for these two players to give important performances for Team India in the upcoming 5-match Test series against Australia.

This five-match Test series is starting from 22 November in Perth. If Team India wants to secure its place in the final of the World Test Championship, then it is very important for them to win about four matches of this Test series. According to Ian Chappell, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma may face a lot of trouble in Australian conditions.

Ian Chappell said, ‘The only thing I would like to say is that Team India is coming after losing the Test series against Australia and New Zealand. The pitch in Australia is very good and extra bounce will also be seen there. It is very important for the batsmen of Team India to understand this thing. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma may have to face problems due to extra bounce.

Team India will need maximum runs from its best player: Mark Taylor

Ian Chappell further said about Team India, ‘The performance of the team’s batsmen has been disappointing. I think Yashasvi Jaiswal is a very good young player and apart from him, Shubman Gill can also perform well. But you have Kohli and Rohit Sharma who have a lot of experience and at this time when people are talking so much about them, I think they can be seen performing well in the upcoming series.

Regarding this, former player Mark Taylor said, ‘Team India has moved ahead with Pujara and Rahane. They have all Rohit and Kohli who are the best players in the world but the team is going through a very difficult situation at the moment and this has put pressure on the young players and also on the lower order players. You have to try to score as many runs as possible from your best player but this has not been seen at all from Team India in the last 12 to 18 months.

Before the start of BGT, Navjot Singh Sidhu gave big suggestions to Indian batsmen to deal with spin.

Navjot Singh Sidhu gave such suggestions to counter spin- Rohit Sharma & Navjot Singh Sidhu (Photo Source: The performance of Team India’s batsmen in the Test series against New Zealand was quite disappointing. The batsmen struggled against spin throughout the series and could not perform well even against the fast bowlers. India’s batting line-up faltered badly on the spinning pitches of Pune and Mumbai and the team scored 156,245, 263 and 121. Meanwhile, before the start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, former Indian cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu has revealed some techniques to help Indian players improve their game. Navjot Singh Sidhu gave these suggestions to counter spin Navjot Singh Sidhu’s old advice regarding playing spin has resurfaced, which is going viral on social media. He further added to this with a four-point “playbook” for the Indian batsmen while tweeting on social media on November 6. Navjot Singh Sidhu first advised to “move forward often to confuse the spinner’s mind, it will force him to guess”. He suggests that by moving forward on the pitch, batsmen can disrupt the bowler’s rhythm and foil his plans. His second point is “Point of No Return” – the point of the bowler’s delivery. “Make sure you move when it is at the point of no return (point of delivery). “It comes from instinct and hours of practice.” Playing spin on turning tracks – 1 stepping out often to the spinner to clutter his mind, keep him guessing…. 2 ensure that you step out when he is at a point of no return (point of delivery), it comes with instinct and hours of practice 3 watch his wrist like a hawk till the… — Navjot Singh Sidhu (@sherryontopp) November 6, 2024 Sidhu then continued his suggestion by asking the batsmen to look closely at their hands before throwing the ball. “Keep an eye on your wrist like a hawk till the end to code the delivery,” he said, adding that this will help batsmen understand which way the ball will turn and adjust their reaction accordingly. Lastly, Sidhu advised to have a little forward movement so that both front foot and back foot are ready to explore the shot. “A small initial forward movement allows you to adjust to playing the ball late and moving back and forth,” he explained, adding that committing too early can put the batsman in a precarious position. “Swoop or commit, and you are at the mercy of the bowler – like a dying duck in a storm,” he warned.
