Ind vs Aus: 'Team India was nervous to see the pitch', what did Sunil Gavaskar say after the defeat

The third match of the border Gavaskar Trophy being played between India and Australia was played at Holkar Stadium in Indore. In this match, Australia defeated India by 9 wickets to enter the final of the World Test Championship (WTC). After this defeat, the great batsman Sunil Gavaskar said that the hosts did not get enough runs, and a lot of things were roaming about the pitch. The status of the pitch in the four-match series has made headlines. There were a lot of comments on the pitch for the Nagpur and Delhi Tests, which won the average rating from the International Cricket Council (ICC).

Australia defeated Australia by innings and 132 runs in the first Test and the second match lost by 6 wickets within three days. However, India allowed Australia to return to the 4-match series and make it 1-2 after a disappointing batting performance against the spin invasion in the third Test in Indore.

Gavaskar told Star, he did not score runs in the first two matches. Apart from Rohit Sharma in Nagpur, he did not get enough runs. When you do not score enough runs in the match, there is some instability in their batting. He further said, Indian batsmen, did not score enough runs. They could not keep pace with the pitch. He allowed the pitch to dominate himself. This was the pitch that was playing with her mind, in the second innings there was even more pitch.

After deciding to bat on the first day of the third Test, India was covered for just 109 runs, where Australia's spinner Matthew Kuhanman took his first five wickets. In the second innings, off-spinner Nathan Leone completed his second eight wickets in Test cricket and set India for 169 runs to target 76 runs. Australia is on the verge of victory in the third Test.

Travis Head and Marnas Labushen scored an unbeaten 49 and 28 runs respectively to win Australia by nine wickets in the third Test at Holkar Stadium on Friday. After seeing the defeat of his favourite team, fans also pulled up Rohit Sharma's team, while many people felt that Rishabh Pant's presence could help India save the match.

One user wrote on Twitter, India did not end well in an attempt to make excessive turning wickets in Indore. Another fan said the match ended so soon, as the film ended before the interval. Another user said, we are saying a lot that Indian players are very good against the spin invasion, but is it really so? Many contradictory examples have been revealed in recent years. Perhaps we need to feel that it is not so now.

Recalling the 2020-21 Border Gavaskar Trophy, where Rishabh Pant led the team to a historic victory in Gaba, which made it to the inaugural world Test championship for India. A fan said that the presence of a wicketkeeper-batsman could save the match for India.
