“I can’t understand the captaincy to be honest. We kept talking about how important it was to take wickets upfront, if you have to stop this kind of batting line-up and then you make your premier bowler bowl two overs,” Gautam Gambhir mentioned in a video posted on ESPNCricinfo

“Normally, in a one-day game, probably there are three spells and you finish 10 overs — 4,3,3 — or probably the maximum is four overs. But if you stop your premier fast bowler just by bowling two overs upfront with the new ball, I can’t understand that kind of captaincy and I can’t even explain that captaincy,” he added. 

“It’s not T20 cricket. T20 cricket is different and sometimes even in T20 cricket, people end up bowling three overs upfront. I can’t understand the reason to be honest, that was poor captaincy,” Gambhir mentioned. 

Some offended followers slammed the happenings in Indian cricket, coaching their weapons on the Kohli-Shastri mixture. Many others tweeted that Rohit Sharma must be made the captain of the Indian group. 

India’s tour Down Under has gotten off to a nightmare begin, with the guests utterly outplayed in each the ODIs thus far. Australia’s batting has stamped their authority, with the Indian bowlers trying devoid of concepts on most events.
