IND vs AUS Test Series: Team India had started the five-match Test series played against Australia with a win, but the Indian team could not maintain this momentum and lost the series 3-1. After facing such a crushing defeat at the hands of Australia, Team India is being criticized everywhere.
In this series, the team’s batsmen disappointed beyond measure. From the senior players of the team to those players who were expected to perform brilliantly in this series, the Indian fans were disappointed. After this defeat of Team India, former Indian cricketer S Badrinath has made a big attack on Shubman Gill and the selection committee of BCCI.
Badrinath attacks Shubhman Gill fiercely
S Badrinath believes that Shubhman Gill has got a lot of opportunities from the Indian team management. He has played with three head coaches and all have expressed confidence in him, but former Indian cricketer Subramaniam Badrinath disagrees. He says that he is in the team because he is from North India. On Star Support Tamil, he accused BCCI of bias and said, “Had Shubhman Gill been from Tamil Nadu, he would have been dropped. It is very difficult for me to see that. For that level, he has not lived up to expectations.”
He further said, “If you can’t score runs, at least show intent and aggression. I wanted him to tire the bowlers and make the ball stale. Help your teammates and persevere even if runs are not scored. Play 100 balls and tire the bowlers. This is considered your contribution to the team. Labuschagne and McSweeney did this in some matches. By playing a lot of dot balls, he really hurt Bumrah.”
How many runs did Gill score in the Australia tour?
Let us tell you here that Shubman Gill played only three out of five test matches in the Border Gavaskar Trophy and even in those three test matches he scored only 93 runs with his bat. When Gill played a brilliant inning of 91 runs at Gabba during the Australia tour in 2021, it seemed that Team India had found the next Virat Kohli. But Gill failed to repeat his brilliant performance on this tour.
Team India’s WTC dream broken
With the loss of the Border Gavaskar Trophy, Team India’s dream of playing the final of the World Test Championship has also been shattered. Now the WTC final match will be played between Australia and South Africa from June 11 at the historic ground of Lord’s. Australia has now defeated India in the Border Gavaskar Trophy since 2014. Team India had been winning this series for the last two times. This time Team India had to face defeat 3-1 in this series.
