Pretty Hard To Take BGT Series Loss, Batters Need To Take Responsibilities: Sunil Joshi
Nitish Kumar Reddy: Australia reclaiming the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at Sydney after ten years meant India couldn’t achieve its ambition of making a three-peat of Test series wins on Australian soil. It was a tour where India’s batting didn’t click in unison, as seen from them being unable to go past the 200-run mark six out of nine times.
Barring a few bright sparks from the willows of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Nitish Kumar Reddy and KL Rahul to some extent, India’s batting lacked the consistency, big scores and partnerships. Captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli (barring the hundred in Perth), and Shubman Gill had a tough time, while Rishabh Pant also struggled during the tour.
The poor batting performance in Australia was a continuation of the doubts over India’s batting department coming good in tough conditions, especially after they lost 3-0 to New Zealand at home.
