legendary sunil gavaskar He used abusive language against senior players on Monday. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli He blamed India’s top order for disappointing the team and losing the Boxing Day Test against Australia. On the final day of the 4th Test, Indian batsmen will set a target other than 340. Yashasvi Jaiswal (84) failed again and lost by 184 runs, making it 1-2 in the five-match series. When asked what the future holds for Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in 2025, Gavaskar gave a detailed answer.
“It all depends on the selectors. We are not getting the contribution we expected. It is the top order that has to contribute and if the top order is not contributing, why blame the lower order? .”
“The seniors are not contributing as much as they should. All they had to do was stay alive to come into bat today and compete again in Sydney,” Gavaskar told India Today.
“…The top order just didn’t contribute and that’s why India ended up in this position.”
Although Gavaskar praised Jaiswal’s nifty knock, the great batsman was again unimpressed. rishabh pants‘s shot selection opened the floodgates to Australia.
Jaiwal and Pant teamed up in a 3-on-3 to take India to 121 in the post-lunch session and looked settled, but Pant’s reckless shooting set his team back.
“Yes, right around tea time, when Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal were batting in the post-lunch session, it was certainly a question of India batting for another hour without losing a wicket so they could get a draw. It looked like Australia would have drawn.’ So I gave up,” Gavaskar said.
“The whole idea was to try the compulsory overs. If India lost maybe four wickets around the compulsory overs, then Australia would shake hands after dropping a couple of overs. It would have happened, but it didn’t happen.”
