Sunil Gavaskar said:
“Making too many changes in a team isn’t right, because it’s not like India lost all its matches. In two matches, the batters could not deliver what was expected of them and that is the reason that India is in such a state right now. The approach needs to change,”
According to Gavaskar, the team only features “3-4 great fielders” In comparison to New Zealand, he believes India needs “players who are phenomenal in fielding”
“The fact that in the first 6 overs, there are only 2 fielders outside the 30-yard-circle, India haven’t taken advantage of it for the last few ICC tournaments. Which is why, whenever India is up against a strong team, one that has good bowlers… India cannot score. So that needs to change”, he further added.
“The second and most importantly, they should have players who are phenomenal in fielding. The way New Zealand fielded, saved runs, took catches… it stood out. Even if the attack is ordinary, the pitch is placid, good fielding can make a lot of difference. If you look at the Indian team, except 3-4 outstanding fielders. You can’t depend on the rest to save runs or dive at the boundary“, he said.
