Sunil Gavaskar’s warning to Team India: The Indian cricket team is going to make the same mistake which it made against New Zealand during the Australia tour. For the first time, India faced a clean sweep at home against New Zealand. The reason for this was the failure of star batsmen like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. The reason for the failure of these batsmen is believed to be that they went straight from match or day match to test match without any practice. If he had played some Duleep Trophy or Ranji Trophy matches, he would have had match practice for day cricket. Overall, there was a lack of match practice among the Indian batsmen.
The Indian team is going to make that mistake on the Australia tour, on which veteran cricketers have raised questions. As per the earlier schedule, the Indian team was to play two practice matches against India ‘A’ before playing the first Test match. Apart from this, a match was to be played against Prime Minister’s XI before the second test match. Australia had decided the captain of the Prime Minister’s XI but BCCI suddenly canceled both India’s practice matches and the match with the Prime Minister’s XI.
This means that the Indian team will start the Australia tour directly with Test matches. He will prepare for this test match through net practice. Former captain Sunil Gavaskar has questioned this decision of the board. Gavaskar wrote in a column, ‘Net practice can never be a substitute for match practice. Playing a Test match requires a flair, which comes from batting on the middle of the field (pitch). Net practice cannot do this. Hopefully whoever has canceled the practice match and match on behalf of Prime Minister’s XI. This will prove this to be true.
Sunil Gavaskar says, ‘Batsmen know that after getting out in a practice match, they cannot bat for the second time. This is why warm-up or practice matches are more important than net practice for any batsman. It is possible that the India A bowlers are not bowling at full strength against the Indian batsmen in the practice matches so that no one gets injured, but the injury can also reach the nets, the pitch of which is not as good as it was prepared for. Has been. Match.
