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. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli scored 91 and 93 runs respectively in the series.

At the same time, Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sarfaraz Khan looked in good form but could not score runs with consistency. Team India is going to play a five-match Test series against Australia under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy from November 22.

The form of Indian batsmen remains a matter of concern before the start of the series. Meanwhile, former veteran player Sunil Gavaskar has given a big statement regarding the mentality of Indian batsmen. He said that there was a problem in temperament, due to which the team lost the series.

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.
