Indian cricket team
The Indian team has to play the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia from November 22. For the first time there will be five test matches on BGT. This has never happened before. Team India has won the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the last four times, of which it has lifted the tricolor twice by winning in Australia. But this time the road will not be easy for the Indian team. The Indian team faced a 0-3 sweep in the Test series against New Zealand at home. This has dealt a big blow to team India’s chances of reaching the World Test Championship. Now Sandeep Patil, who was a member of the Indian team that won the 1983 ODI World Cup title, has made a big statement.
Former selection committee chairman Sandeep Patil expressed confidence that the team is so good that it will not be intimidated by these setbacks. During the launch of his book ‘Beyond Boundaries’, Patil said that he has to play against Australia only on their soil. They have to forget what happened there last time. They will also have to forget what happened in this series against New Zealand and look forward.
Defeat as a warning: Sandeep Patil
He said that before winning the World Cup we had lost all the practice matches. That is why it is necessary to remember them. You have to think positively and play in the same way, only then will you get better results. If you play defensive cricket and think about winning, it won’t happen. He said this series loss was like a warning. It’s not that our team is playing badly. A few months ago he won the T20 World Cup. We have some important players in our team and they will definitely return. He must have learned a lot from this defeat.
New Zealand won the series for the first time.
New Zealand had won only two Test matches against India before this series and then won three consecutive Test matches in the same series. New Zealand won the Test series on Indian soil for the first time. At the same time, for the first time, Team India has suffered the pain of a clean sweep at home in a Test series of three or more matches. Indian team’s star batsmen Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli proved to be miserable failures in the series.
