While India did a fantastic job on Day 4 of second Test vs Bangladesh, Sunil Gavaskar was unhappy with the batting strategy of the side.
The Indian cricket team on Monday put up a terrific batting display on the fourth day of the second Test against Bangladesh at Green Park stadium in Kanpur. With the second and third day of play getting completely washed out due to rain, India needed an out-of-the-box performance to take the game to a point that it could yield a result. The hosts first bundled out Bangladesh at the score of 233 and then boasted of a powerful batting attack. The Rohit Sharma-led side posted 285 for 9 in 34.4 overs and then declared the innings with a lead of 52 runs.
En route to the massive effort, India registered the fastest 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 runs in the history of Test cricket.
While India did a fantastic job on the day, former captain and now a commentator, Sunil Gavaskar, was unhappy with the batting line-up of the side. He expressed his opinions on JioCinema.
When India lost Yashasvi Jaiswal as the second wicket in the innings, everyone was waiting to see Virat Kohli, who bats at the number four position in Test cricket. To everyone's surprise, India sent Rishabh Pant and held back Kohli, only to send him later at fifth spot.
"You are talking about a man who got almost 9,000 runs in Test cricket batting at No. 4," said Gavaskar.
