Sunil Gavaskar Points Out What Went Wrong For India Bowlers | Cricket News

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar feels that the Indian cricket workforce can be “very disappointed” with its effort within the final hour of Day 1 of the continued fourth Test in opposition to Australia. India, who had decreased Australia to 170 for 4 by the 71st over, didn’t capitalize on it after taking the brand new ball within the innings. Instead, it was Australia who loved the final hour of the sport because the duo of Usman Khawaja and Cameron Green added unbeaten 85 runs for the fifth wicket by stumps.

The Rohit Sharma-led facet took the second new ball within the 82nd over and conceded 54 runs within the final 9 overs, whereas they didn’t get any wicket.

Being sad with India’s bowling efficiency with the second new ball, Gavaskar opined that the bowlers may have finished higher.

“The conversation in the dressing room would (be) probably, I think it’s best to have a conversation after a little while not straight away. Because they will be very disappointed with their efforts in the last hour. Particularly after having taken the second new ball, to concede the number of runs that they did, and the number of boundaries (they did). It was almost as if the Australians broke free when the second new ball was taken. The first couple of overs we saw from our new ball bowlers. That’s not what you want to see when you got a brand new ball in your hand, the effort could have been better,” Gavaskar stated on Star Sports.

While Khawaja scored his first Test century on Indian soil and remained not out on the rating of 104 by the top of play on Day 1, Cameron Green was unbeaten on 49 runs off 64 balls at stumps.

For India, Mohammed Shami was the choose of the bowlers on the day with figures of two for 65.
