In this thrilling IND vs AUS match, the Indian team struggled right from the start. Shubman Gill, from whom much was expected, remained mute with his bat. At the start, the pitch completely neutralised his technique. In this game, the pitch played in such a way that it troubled the batsmen. The Indian team had no chance of scoring big due to the initial setback. The early exit of Gill was a big setback for the Indian team.
Kohli’s failure
Virat Kohli, who is considered the pillar of India’s batting line-up, failed in this match as well. Kohli’s poor form continued and he once again returned to the dressing room on the cheap. Kohli found it difficult to find his rhythm in the difficult conditions on the pitch. The loss of an experienced player like Virat Kohli also took a toll on the team’s morale. At the same time, the Australian bowlers put the Indian batsmen under pressure and capitalised on every little mistake.
Pitch play
The biggest story of this game was the pitch. The pitch was a real nightmare for the batsmen. The extra bounce and seam movement that the bowlers were getting was completely upsetting the batsmen. The Indian batsmen could not read this pitch, which also affected their batting selection. At the same time, the Australian bowlers made the most of the pitch and executed their strategy with precision.
The secret of the low score
The low score of the Indian team in this match is an indication that the right strategy in terms of fielding was not implemented. In the bowler-friendly conditions, the Indian batsmen had to adopt a defensive approach but they tried to play aggressively, which proved costly. The Australian team, on the other hand, batted with patience and the right strategy.
