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. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli scored 91 and 93 runs respectively, while players like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant and Sarfaraz Khan looked in good form but could not play consistently. 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.

It was very difficult to take a decision last night – Alyssa Healy Now after the match, Alyssa Healy has revealed the seriousness of her injury. That said, I tore my plantar fascia – tore one completely and tore the other partially. It was just a matter of function and pain and what I could handle. After all, I probably only had one game. Maybe I took the wrong risk at the end of the day. He further said that it was very difficult to take a decision last night. I sat myself down rather than take the risk. It was very difficult to watch, knowing that you couldn’t go there and help. But like I said, there were so many positives to see throughout the tournament. It didn’t end the way we wanted, but I think we played some amazing cricket throughout the tournament.

Why did Suryakumar Yadav take the risk of giving the 19th over to Rinku Singh? He revealed the master plan after the match
After that, 6 runs were needed in the last over. At that time, captain Suryakumar Yadav himself bowled. He gave only 5 runs and took two wickets. The match went into the super over. Sri Lanka could not do anything special in this and scored just 2 runs. At the same time, Suryakumar Yadav hit a four on the very first ball and won the super over. After the match, Suryakumar Yadav explained the reason behind giving the 19th over to Rinku Singh Sri Lanka needed 12 balls and only 9 runs to win against India. This included an over left for India’s most important bowler Mohammed Siraj who bowled the opening over. Still, Suryakumar decided to bowl Rinku Singh in the 19th over and this was a very crucial over that could change the course of the match. Actually Suryakumar took this risk. If he had lost the match, all the blame would have fallen on Suryakumar. But it has been seen in the last several matches that Suryakumar Yadav, who has reached this stage after so much struggle, is not one to give up. Suryakumar handed the ball to Rinku and he also justified this decision. Suryakumar while talking on Sony Sports said-
