The Indian team lost the third test match against Australia by 9 wickets, and now the four test match series became 2-1. The dominating performance of the Australian players in the third test was seen, and Australian spinner Lyon bagged 11 wickets in the match.
India’s great batter Sunil Gavaskar is furious after India’s humiliating defeat by 9 wickets in the third Test against Australia in Indore. Sunil Gavaskar has suddenly created a sensation with his statement. He explained that the no-ball from Jadeja cost the Indian team the whole match. In the first innings, the Australian batter was out on the first ball of Jadeja’s fourth over, but that was no-ball, and then he made a partnership of crucial 96 runs with Usman.
“If you look back on the Test match, you would say that is probably what cost India the match. Labuschagne was out for a duck, and they (later) stitched the partnership of 96 while India was dismissed for 109. I think that was probably the turning point. I think that no-ball cost India the match,” said Gavaskar after the match.
Sunil Gavaskar further criticized the Indian batters for their poor performance in the third Test match against Australia and stated that ‘the pitch dominated their mind.’ He explained that if we observe all three matches, we have seen that there has been a lack of confidence except for Rohit Sharma. And that’s why they got close to the ball on the pitch, which we have seen in both innings.
Gavaskar said, ‘If you see, there has been a lack of confidence in the Indian batting because apart from Rohit Sharma, they have not scored runs in the first two matches. Rohit had scored a brilliant century in Nagpur. They were not able to get close to the ball on the pitch. It was the pitch that actually started dominating their mind in the first innings itself. This effect was more in the second innings.”
