India lost the T20 World Cup match against South Africa
- Sunil Gavaskar who used to lead the Indian cricket team said Team India needs to stop being arrogant and start batting according to the match situation. India lost to South Africa by 76 runs during the T20 World Cup match.
- Gavaskar observed two players who formed a strong partnership between Dewald Brewis and David Miller. The two players established their batting score through careful and disciplined play. Indian batters showed excessive confidence during their batting approach. They lost their wickets after starting their batting with aggressive hits. South Africa gained control of the match after this change. Gavaskar said the opposition team deserved to win the match.
Teams must adjust their strategies according to existing match conditions
- Gavaskar stated that India failed to learn from the South African innings. The batters attempted to hit boundaries on every ball they faced. He explained that this approach does not suit tough pitches. T20 players must adjust their performance according to the field conditions and current game situation.
- He emphasized that success on a challenging pitch requires discipline. Players must put ego aside. Players must assess current conditions and choose their next actions. He identified adaptation as the essential element for batting success during tough times.
Possible Team Changes for the Next Match
Gavaskar also suggested a change in the playing eleven. He believes Axar Patel will likely replace Washington Sundar in the next match. He predicts this change will enhance the team's overall performance.
