India’s defeat in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) against Australia after 10 years was a collective effort. If Jasprit Bumrah was the lone positive light with 32 wickets in the series, a fragile Indian batting order made the job easy for the Australians in the last four Test matches.
Having started with a win in Perth, the Indian team just surrendered every time they walked into bat in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney. The rain-hit third Test had ended in a draw in Brisbane.
Former India captain and ex-BCCI president Sourav Ganguly reasoned India’s batting behind their loss Down Under. “We did not bat well, we have to bat well in Test cricket,” Ganguly told reporters in Kolkata.
“If you do not bat well, you will not win Test matches. If you score 170, 180, you cannot win Test matches. You have to score 350-400. No one can be blamed. Everyone has to score runs,” added the former skipper.
