Indian team is going to repeat New Zealand’s mistake in Australia! Gavaskar warned that even kangaroos may make things worse.

New Delhi. The Indian cricket team is going to repeat the same mistake it made against New Zealand on the Australia tour. India faced a clean sweep for the first time at home against New Zealand. The reason for this was the failure of star batsmen like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. The reason for the failure of these batsmen was believed to be that they entered the Test match directly without any practice match or day match. If he had played a few matches of Duleep Trophy or Ranji Trophy, he would have got match practice of day cricket. Overall, Indian batsmen lacked match practice.

The Indian team is going to make the same mistake on the Australia tour, on which veteran cricketers have raised questions. According to the earlier schedule, the Indian team had to play two practice games against India ‘A’ before playing the first Test match. Apart from this, before the second test match, a match was to be played against Prime Minister’s XI. Australia had even decided the captain of Prime Minister XI. But BCCI has suddenly canceled both India’s practice matches and the match against Prime Minister’s XI.

This means that the Indian team will start the Australia tour directly with the Test match. She will prepare for this test match through net practice. Former captain Sunil Gavaskar does not hesitate to question this decision of the board. Gavaskar writes in his column in Mid-Day, ‘Net practice can never be a substitute for match practice. To play a Test match, a temperament is required, which is achieved only by batting on the middle of the field (pitch). This cannot happen through net practice. Hopefully, whoever canceled the practice match and the match against Prime Minister’s XI will prove it right.

Sunil Gavaskar says, ‘Batters know that after getting out in a practice match, they cannot bat again. For this reason, warm-up or practice matches are more important for any batsman than net practice. It is possible that the bowlers of India A do not bowl with full strength against the Indian batsmen in the practice match lest someone gets injured. But injuries can also occur in the nets, whose pitch is not as good as the one prepared for the match.
