Former Indian national cricket team player Jatin Paranjape has lashed out at the Rohit Sharma-led side for their poor batting on the third day of the ongoing Test against the Australian cricket team. He said it was worrying to see how the team batted.
The Indian national cricket team found themselves in a tough spot in the ongoing third test against the Australian national cricket team. Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 match between teams is underway at the Gabba in Brisbane.
India's batting has once again led to their downfall in the ongoing series
India's batting again led to their downfall in the process series. The team led by Rohit Sharma put up a great effort with the bat in the ongoing match. This not only put them on the back foot, but also eliminated the possibility of winning the game for them.
After Australia's innings ended with 445 runs, Rohit Sharma and his team were expected to try to fight back with the bat. But it was an utter disappointment as the batsmen, to be fair, gave away their wickets and looked in a hurry.
Rohit Sharma & Co. they end Day 3 in Brisbane on 51/4
Yashasvi Jaiswal was the first wicket of the fall as he tried to play the shot and ended up giving away a catch Mitchell Marsh. After that, Shubman Gill went on a big drive and managed an edge, which was caught in the gully region as India lost two quick wickets.
Virat Kohli also chased the delivery outside off while Rishabh Pant he could also leave the ball he was playing. The Indian national cricket team remained at 44/4 while the bowlers of the Australian national cricket team were on the attack. But it's fair to say they could have avoided the damage, but it wasn't meant to be.
Only KL Rahul looked solid with the bat. He showed everyone how to bat with the bat as he showed great discipline and hit some great fours. He was unbeaten on 30 runs with Rohit Sharma joining him at the end of the day as India ended Day 3 on 51/4, trailing by 394 runs.
Expressing yourself' is one of the biggest misnomers - Jatin Paranjape left worried about India's batting
Jatin Paranjape remained worried about the way India batted on the third day of the ongoing Gabba Test. He pointed out that when a team has over 400 runs to begin with, they plan to bat for longer periods. He also criticized the team's approach of "expressing themselves", saying it was one of the biggest misnomers.
Not only that, he was also critical of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill for the way they got away, arguing that they should play for the team and not for their own satisfaction. Taking to his Twitter account, he explained:
“More than the score, the way India batted today is worrying. When you're looking down the 440, surely you have to approach it from a long-game hitting perspective?
"Self-expression" is one of the biggest misnomers. You have to play for the team, not just for your own mind's pleasure!! Jaiswal and Gill were disappointing today."
