Why India is out of contest in WTC after losing BGT?
India is out of the world test championship scenario after losing the Border Gavaskar trophy 3-1 against Australia on Australian soil. From the second test, India never showed the rhythm they showed in the first test, which was played without Captain Rohit Sharma. It was a marvellous attack and great strategy shown by Jasprit Bumrah He was the only player who stood tall against a mighty Australian side, He showed a great performance with his bowling skills, and he rattled every legendary batsman in the Australian side with his remarkable bowling approach in whole series, that is only achievement India gained throughout this Border Gavaskar trophy,rest is very disappointing for Indian fans.
Reason Behind Indian Failure
Poor Batting line up
Poor Form
Third seam bowler Missing
Poor Selection
Poor Batting line up
Indian Batting line was really in poor touch , no batsman has been in form , top order batsman couldn’t resist for long innings they came and they gone , two legendary batsman who were known for marchy attack had not taken responsibility to tackle Australian bowling attack , team were mixed of youngster who didn’t take opportunity in challenging condition and India missed his third seam bowler .
Poor Form
Batting line up of Indian cricket team was really a serious concern , selection was taken to see the future need that was reason few experience players were not given importance in Border Gavaskar Trophy , In absence of last victorious players like Ajinkya Rahane , Cheteshwar Pujara and Hanuma Bihari selectors given opportunity to youngster like Yashasvi Jaiswal , Shubman Gill , Devdatt Paddikal , Sarfaraz Khan and Nitish Kumar Reddy but Besides Yashasvi Jaiswal and Nitish Kumar Reddy whole Indian batting line up seen bystander , Indian batting line up depth was missing in whole BGT scenario and it was seen from series against New Zealand . poor form challenge has been a disturbing element for Indian side . Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma has been in poor touch , their form and struggle against australian bowling attack has given a rife to question mark in their future . Sarfaraz has been a dug out batsman for quite a time but every opportunity he missed like little kid .
Third seam bowler Missing
Indian dearly missed his third seam bowler in Border Gavaskar Trophy . In absence of Mohammed shami the whole responsibility came to Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj in bowling attack and the took that responsibility with both hands , Jasprit Bumrah remarkable performance against mighty Australian batting line up shown his top notch skills and it will be remembered for a long but rest of bowling attack was not at par. Mohammad Shami was dearly missed for his heroics of previous tour of BGT.
Poor Selection
Selection has been a question mark after entry of Indian cricket team head coach Gautam Gambhir, giving importance to youngster players instead of experience players has been a debacle of poor performance by Indian batting line up , for last four months India has not shown any specific turn around for which they known for .
