Team India lost the match after dominating the first Test against England. In this match, the Indian team presented a great batting and hit five centuries, but despite this, the team had to face a crushing defeat by five wickets. Former Indian captain and commentator Sunil Gavaskar is very sad about this defeat and he targeted Team India and warned that if the team does not learn from their mistakes within 8 days, then it will be the same in the second Test match. During this, Gavaskar exposed many mistakes of Team India.
Sunil Gavaskar told these mistakes
Talking on Sony Sports after the match, Sunil Gavaskar said, “Shubman Gill -led team was ‘Test class’. He gave full credit for the victory to the England team and said that despite India scoring a century, there was confidence in England. For this reason, he took the final wicket, while Team India missed here, because if some runs were made, the result of the match could have been something else.
Gavaskar said that as far as fielding is concerned, not only the catch was left but our fielding was also absolutely ordinary. Our team was not the Test class team. Sunil Gavaskar, one of the great players of India, has advised to take lessons from this defeat.
Team India take lessons from defeat
Commentator Sunil Gavaskar has advised the Indian team to learn from the defeat in the Leeds Test. He said, “There was a very good pitch for batting in Leeds, so it is very difficult to criticize the bowlers. Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah bowled very well. If he got well from the other end, the match could change, but this is the first Test. Hopefully, the team will have learned the lesson. The team will have to learn.
Team focus on next match
The former Indian player said that Gill & Company need not be disappointed with this defeat. He should now focus on the second Test match starting from July 2 in Birmingham. They should now work on their mistakes in the remaining days and improve it. He said that lower order batsmen need to come forward and contribute. In both innings of the Leeds Test match, the lower -order batsmen of Team India performed very poorly.
