Subramaniam Badrinath accused BCCI: The Indian team lost to Australia 1-3 in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024-25. With this defeat, the Indian team also lost the chance to reach the final of the World Test Championship (WTC). Now Australia and South Africa will clash in the WTC final.
This cricketer’s strict statement regarding Shubman!
The disappointing performance of Team India’s star batsman Shubman Gill in the series against Australia has made him a target of critics. In this series, Shubham scored 93 runs in a total of 5 innings at an average of 18.60, which was a very average performance for the number-3 batsman.
A shocking statement by former cricketer Subramaniam Badrinath regarding the selection of Shubman Gill and Team India has come to light. Badrinath also accused the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) of regional discrimination in team selection. Badrinath criticized Shubman and said that if he had been from Tamil Nadu, he would have been dropped from the team. This is very difficult for me to watch. It has not met expectations at that level. According to Badrinath, Shubman has been kept in the team because he is from North India.
Badrinath further said, ‘If you cannot score runs then show intent and aggression. I wanted him to tire the bowlers and make the ball stale. Help your teammates and be adamant about not scoring. Play 100 balls and tire the bowlers. Labuschagne and McSweeney did this in many matches. You don’t have to go there and say, hey, this is how I play, I’ll stand up and perform. Four people will write about you. Whatever you can do at that time. You should do it. I didn’t get that from Shubman in this series. His fielding on the field was average, he could not avoid slips and points. What does he contribute to the team?’
