India suffered a terrible batting meltdown against Australia on the third day of Adelaide’s test, registering their lowest total (36) in the cricket test. None of the Indian batsmen could reach double the numbers in the 2nd inning.
As a result, the team led by Virat Kohli recorded an unpleasant eight-wicket loss to start the 4-game test series. Ahead of the Boxing Day Test, which begins December 26 at Melbourne Cricket Ground, former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar said India should take to the ground with lots of positive intention and start over.
“India should start the Melbourne Test well, it is necessary for them to take the ground with a lot of positivity. Australia’s weak point is its stick, ”Sunil Gavaskar told Sports Tak. “India must believe that she can return in the rest of the Test series.
If India doesn’t find positivity then a 4-0 streak loss can happen. But if they have positivity, why not? It can happen (back). It is natural that there is anger after such a performance. But in cricket anything can happen.
Look how the scene was yesterday and what happened today, ”added Gavaskar. The stick legend underlined how sloppy play by the Indians and poor field placements favored the Australians in the opening innings.
Gavaskar said if India hadn’t made those mistakes it could have taken the lead by over 100 points. “If we had kept our holds and had good field goals, maybe there wouldn’t have been a problem, Tim Paine and Marnus Labuschagne would have come out early.
We could have had a 120 point lead. Australia took the lead in the tests because of those lost catches, they reduced the lead to 50 points, ”added Gavaskar. Finally, Gavaskar spoke about the two possible changes that can be made for the Melbourne test.
He supported the selection of Rahul in place of Prithvi Shaw and Shubman Gill in the middle order. “India will consider making two changes. First, Kl Rahul should perhaps replace Prithvi Shaw at the opening.
