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.

Team India & Sunil Gavaskar (Photo Source: Getty Images) Indian batsmen were seen struggling badly in the home Test series against New Zealand. The result of which was that Team India had to face whitewash in the three-match Test series.

India is scheduled to tour Australia next month, where a five-match Test series is to be played under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. In such a situation, the lack of consistent performance of the Indian batsmen is a matter of concern for the team management. Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar talked about the mentality of Indian batsmen. He believes that players have the mentality that if they play a few dot balls, they can play aerial shots, which is not needed in red ball cricket. He said that due to this risk-taking mentality, India is losing wickets quickly. This could be a tour that can decide a lot of futures- Sunil Gavaskar Gavaskar said on India Today, definitely the problem of temperament is more because the temperament at the moment is a white ball legacy. What two or three dot balls? We need to move forward and try to impose ourselves on the bowlers. So go for the big shot, if it comes out good then go for the aerial shot. But where the ball is doing something, these chances are very less. He said that, when the technology is there, the nature of it is that I can do it because the boundaries are small. The bats are very good, the guys are strong too, so we can bring it into the stands. Gavaskar further said that, I think this can be a tour that can decide a lot of futures. And I’m hoping that question will, you know, resolve itself in Australia because they are, at an age and at a stage in their careers, where there will be a second ring in which we will be looking for an opportunity.
“Big shots after two-three dot balls…”, Sunil Gavaskar got angry on the mentality of Indian batsmen.

There is more problem of temperament – Sunil Gavaskar Sunil Gavaskar believes that the mentality of the players is that if they play a few dot balls then they start playing aerial shots, which is not required in red ball cricket. He stressed that Bharti was losing wickets quickly due to its risk-taking mentality. Sunil Gavaskar while talking on India Today said, Certainly the problem of temperament is more because the temperament is like this now and this is again the legacy of white-ball. Are there two or three dot balls? We have to try to put pressure on the bowlers. So go for the bigger shot, if it’s spectacular then go for the aerial shot. But where the ball is doing something, these chances are very less. So when the technique is there, the temperament is thinking that I can do this because the boundaries are small. The bats are very good, the players are also strong, so we can deliver it in the stands. Let us tell you, if Rohit Sharma and Company are to reach the final of the World Test Championship, they will have to win four out of five matches of the upcoming Test series against Australia.
