This is what happens when cricketers sell their souls to the IPL. Nobody wants to do the hard work and everyone wants to be a flat track bully. Shame on Indian batters.....
Yeah, Bangladesh win, the gentleman said, the credit should go to Rohit, not to Gambhir, now he says when coach and Captain are responsible for the loss, Rohit Sharma is unfit, lethargic, he is alone responsible for this historic loss
Lockdown kids are blaming gambhir who joined just 3 months ago. Gavaskar said all credit for bangladesh victory should go to rohit then why should gambhir take blame for nz loss.
Master technician like Sunil Gavaskar ought to give some tips to our players how to tackle on rank Turners.. Recently I watch his last test match and his last innings on a vicious turning trak at Bangalore against Pakistan really a lesson for a batter..Wow what a technic he had.. That's why critics called him Master technician..
Gavaskar Sir, you are a Legend.. I remember, in the 1980s , you had spent one day in Pune with the Great Kamal Bhandarkar to iron out some minor flaws. That is HUMILITY AND GREATNESS !!!!. Why cant our batters show the same humility and go back to the drawing board ??????
Very true too much T20 cricket has lead to loss of temperament required for test cricket. The zeal was missing....sarfaraz has no good defense against spin...Pujara was missing... defense of test cricket. .... Kohli doesn't sweep, which Gavaskar said Sachin learnt. Players found not playing test cricket... practice matches....are found playing IPL where lot of money is involved. The zeal and passion of Tendulkar Ganguly VVS Dravid missing....
Cricket is such a leveller. Kholi Rohit etc have become Stars and threw away the basics of the game with disdain. Now they will have to bury their Ego and go back to the basics such as Match/Net practice, bat and pad close together, treating the ball on merit, patience, taking a few knocks on the body, concentrate on the next ball and squarely beaten. In short throw your stardom and be a Cricketer.

NZ team is the most dangerous opponent of India. Cuz they never show any signs of aggression but kill Indian team most mercilessly- ODI WC, Test Championship and now Test Series whitewashing in India for first time. Currently over confidence is the biggest opponent for Indian team
The only way to revive test cricket according to me is select specialists for this format and pay them on the lines of IPL. Post such a move you will see players vying to play the longer format.
That's an interesting perspective. I think you may have a good point there. Certainly, India can afford this - my country NZ, for instance, cannot afford this. We had Wagner for several years as really our only fully contracted test match specialist. Another point that seems to me a problem in India is that people at the top, particularly former players seem to afraid to call out current players or the BCCI. Is that accurate?
I think one of the reason for absymal performance of senior batsmen in home soil is say no to domestic cricket. Look at players like Rishabh,Sundar,Jaiswal who have played in local tournaments and performed relatively well than those.
BCCI missed a trick. They could have had 2 coaches, Gambhir for shorter formats and retained Dravid for Test match format. Gambhir's tactics has back-fired big time at the Test level. I grew up watching our Sunny Bhai and always impressed with his technique playing great fast bowlers and also great spin bowlers. Test match cricket was all good considering the transition from Sunny Bhai to Sachin era. When you look at the transition now, where Test players are playing book cricket or even T10 cricket at Test level, it definitely needs not just introspection but retrospection also. For starters, nothing is lost now, we still have a legendary Test player like VVS in the coaching helm. If I was BCCI, I will be pro-active and draw a line for TEST match format and at least make LAXMAN as our head coach for TESTS and shorter formats is where Gambhir and his gang belongs. We also need to take a check-point and do a check-mate for our senior players and their preferences. No freakin player is bigger than the game itself. Someone like KOHLI if he prefers paternity over the country and fans expectations, with all due respects to him, let him take a voluntary retirement and not skip a whole series like he did against England. We need a real check-mate for ROKO in particular. Even though there are talks on ASH/JADDU pair, don't forget that they have been the ones mainly contributing for our wins at HOME and most importantly still contributing and playing decent. Please analyze last 4-5 years of track records in TESTS of ROKO vs Pujaras and Rahane's.
The series was very competitive; both teams tried hard. One factor why India lost was it appears that the Indian team was overconfident. Another factor is that pitches are more difficult to bat on.
I am pretty sure this decline is terminal ..this kind of decline in the standard of batting in the truest version of the game has been coming for a long time. We have been treating test cricket with utter disdain after IPL started -which has led to players playing important Intl games in front of Empty stands. The new generation of young players could not be less bothered about class as long as they got the next IPL contract in the bag.
NZ batting line up is definitely better than AUS or ENG which was the difference at the end of the day. Their bowlers bowled well and were even with IND bowlers.
Now its downfall of Test cricket in India as d mindset of player is on T20 format where there is no room for patience. Test matches need skills n patience which comes with pratice and players refuse domestic cricket n go for international test matches that are hypocrisy on part of Selector n coaches.
Rajdeep - You do not question BCCI? the fact that you do not question BCCI hints at a quid pro quo agreement. The standards of journalism that you set is rock bottom.
So well explained. Hats off Sunny!! Still technically brilliant even in 70s 🙂His words and presence is always comforting to the team which is being battered allover the country.
Top order batsmen have always struggled against spin or pace if there is some assistance to bowlers. Difference is our lower order batsmen like Axar, Ashwin, Jadeja came up with useful contributions which helped India win games. In a way the wins masked the failures of super star batsmen.
New zealand loss is perfect example how success is dangerous . Success always hide flaws or mistake or blunders done .. rohit and virat are failing to play one match winning innings in test from last 3-4 years in test but due to lower middle order contribution and wins it always used to go under the carpet . And now when no one plays they are exposed . Its as simple as that .
Sunny Ji The GOAT We shod wait till the aussie tour and shod give 1 more chance to our boys thy have done so well in th past. All th best Team India. Bleed Blue🇮🇳 3-2 India for me.
The players should watch the innings played by Sunil Gavaskar (96) in the late 80s at Bangalore against Pakisthan in a horribly turning track. It is a text book kind of an innings illustrating how to play spin.
The same SUNNY will be the first person to stand in line when IPL comes ( just because of money) and he’ll sing praises for the same players who plays reverse sweep
A strong discernment about this series Indian team started more fearing of Kiwi's Just think about sachin, sehwag, dravid, etc., The way they handled the home test matches is marvellous. Its a golden era. They showed the ambience, patience, perseverance and timely shots in test cricket. But this team is completely a nuisance, hasty and void when comes to red ball cricket. Its a waste of time, money and trust to train this team which doesn't worth a county cricket.
Past generations in India played on much flatter wickets there were so many dull boring draws. These days most tests especially due to WTC are result oriented and end in 3 days on spicy wickets. It's much harder to average 40+ away from home these days than it was in the past.
Gautam Gambhir must understand that criticising MS Dhoni, Sachin Tendulkar n Kapil Dev on TV or using abusive language against Pakistan players are two different things but coaching a test team is something a serious task.
Nz is more tuned to indian conditions than anu other previous team. They have done it before to India when in 2016 T20 wc nz defeated India on a spin track...
my dear Sunny you need to bring all these ' advertising agents' to senses!!!! you are greatest brain game of cricket has produced !!!! I am short of words to appreciate your batting class and committment to the team.
Primarily we did lose because of our batting. But we can’t ignore the fact that our bowlers were off colour too. I mean NZ part timers bowled better line n length than our main spinners! Our batting didn’t click wholly against England too, but bowlers saved the day there
Whatever it is Australia tour will be tough. I think mostly it is the attitude of some of the senior players is responsible for this. The fame and money they get in Ipl is making them head strong.
What ails india cricket? It is the casual attitude, which any human being gets, once the pocket and stomach is full. All players are super rich, when in their 20s. Why would they bother.
Give credit to NZ , they are not your country cousins any more , they always reach semifinals in most tournaments , that they are in top 4 always & their test record at home is good . As a test side they are very tough to beat . Sunny stop promoting stars as if India can't play without his favorite stars no matter how many youngsters lose their chance to represent india
Watching Indian 🇮🇳 batsmen struggling on home pitches was shocking. Terrible defensive technique , far too many shots offered when they could have easily left the ball .
Now our team has become white ball specialist, red ball demands lot of talent and foot work What I hv remembered players like Gavaskar and Javed miandad were red ball specialists
Nothing wrong as far as batting form is concerned in respect to Rohit and Kohli. The only difference is batting in the road and batting in turners. They gel in the former and will always struggle in the latter.
India wanted to play baz ball and failed 150 was chase able with two days to spare, there was t20 batting at display to be 5 for 29. A decent test match wicket will make India win when the pitch is 3 day pitch both team have equal chance, why would you do it as home team. Poor management of pitch and tactics of selection
India will loose to Australia 3 - 0 , Gavaskar is wrong. we don' t have the determination to fight back. both Rohit and Virat are relaxed and have enough money to enjoy life. why do hard work and play for Inida
Big guns like Rohit , Kohli , Rahul and co didn't play domestic cricket apart from playing IPL and as such they didn't have enough practice playing domestic spinners and failed in the test match due to lack of practice
There's nothing wrong with the technique of Rohit and Virat. It's their attitude. They have grown bigger than the game in their minds. Overconfidence, Arrogance and diminished commitment to the team and country.
Lol KL Rahul would have won you atleast the last match. But big guys thought he is useless. The irony is useless Rohit is dropping a useful player like KL
Why can't Rahul open with Jaiswal instead of Rohit who is not doing much at the top? Rahul might feel more comfortable and confident opening instead of batting at #6?
Whole 2 months of IPL in an year.. r u joking BCCI? That too just 10 days behind WTC finals, no wonder why we got badly kicked off in both the WTC finals when our boys r still in IPL hangover. Whats the point of fighting for WTC points again? Only to get thrashed THRICE? NZ’s success is blessing in disguise, saving men in blue from hattrick embarassment in ICC venue
Sunil Gavaskar is a GOD of world cricket. Perhaps he could answer my question. I've looked into many mysteries in my lifetime including the pyramids, the dinosaurs and theoretical quantum physics. But can anyone please tell me HOW WASHINGTON SUNDAR GETS INTO THE INDIAN TEST SIDE?
Main culprits are the coach and the management! Why preparing pitches which are not suitable for Indians? Rahul Dravid and Shastri had shown how to win In India ! Why moving away from that principle? And if you make rank turners you don’t need 2 pacers! Take extra batsmen instead. And in Bangalore pitch which suited pace, India had 3 spinners!
It is Redmentia.. Dementia of playing the Red ball.. White ball and T20 technique has wiped off off patient batting and wearoff the bowlers . All stalwarts including Rohit and Virat are to the blame
Seems some senior players are not happy and have a rift under Gautam Gambir leadership. How with in 4 months since Gautam Gambir become head coach the team performance became so worst and defeated by New Zealand 3-0 in test series.
BCCI has said that all players who want to rest can opt out of a series but of course will not be paid. Players want BCCI to declare them as being "rested" which will make BCCI pay them. The players have become greedy and are deliberately losing to try and influence BCCI. India will lose to Australia at least 3-0. Rohit Sharma was a failure in 2019 and 2021 in Australia since they have his number and know how to get him out.
Bring back Coach Dravid or Shastri. Bring in Pujara and Rahane Distinguish between 20-20 and test cricket, both players and coach Senior players need to have their foot on ground and a good mind space.
Vettori was of the opinion that it was due to the NZ batters sticking to their task a little bit here a little bit there epitomised by Youngs average of 50.Therefore India's bowlers may have been found out.
Test cricket has been sacrificed on the altar of Money-God of IPL and many t-20s which don't require much technical abilities. Test cricket prepares complete players.
Let Me.Gavaskar take a much needed rest from TV interviews. History cannot be erased and our current Indian Test Team has created a new historical record with its abject surrender to less fancied spinners than our own. No point trying to find faults with the Head Coach ..
Mistake of BCCI not treating all players equally. In the past we do have weaker teams, but never whitewashed like this. In fact no kane willamson, trent boult..no big stars! NZ won! We have stars ...only scored m00ns😢! Lost! It is a big lesson to BCCI. It will be good for Indian cricket, if the failed players voluntarily withdraw from future tests now itself. At the end public paying money...should not be taken for a ride..!
What a stupid question new generation players are struggling? In fact Gill, sarfraz, pant, jaiswal washington sundar played recently. Seniors completely failed
I think Mr Gavaskar is dead right that white ball is the reason for batsmen's inability to tackle spin and seam on bowler's friendly wickets. Its not just Indian problem, batsmen all over the world are less technically sound as compared to batmen of the past
Whatever the situation may be, if the batter doesn't score the runs then pressure comes to bowlers Why.. Bowlers duties to get wickets and score the runs then what the batters will do??? Question is this?? Everything is professional now, if the team wins the match then pass on match fee or the payments otherwise not. If it happens like this then everyone will do their best.
This is what happens when cricketers sell their souls to the IPL. Nobody wants to do the hard work and everyone wants to be a flat track bully. Shame on Indian batters.....

Big guns like Rohit , Kohli , Rahul and co didn't play domestic cricket apart from playing IPL and as such they didn't have enough practice playing domestic spinners and failed in the test match due to lack of practice
How many elephants seen by Rajdesai in the room so far?
A pure red ball player like Pujara being axed is still unimaginable!
There's nothing wrong with the technique of Rohit and Virat. It's their attitude. They have grown bigger than the game in their minds. Overconfidence, Arrogance and diminished commitment to the team and country.
Current indian batters struggle on turning pitches.
Lol KL Rahul would have won you atleast the last match. But big guys thought he is useless. The irony is useless Rohit is dropping a useful player like KL
Why can't Rahul open with Jaiswal instead of Rohit who is not doing much at the top? Rahul might feel more comfortable and confident opening instead of batting at #6?
Yes he is utter useless.. lucky enough to be in team 😉
Whole 2 months of IPL in an year.. r u joking BCCI? That too just 10 days behind WTC finals, no wonder why we got badly kicked off in both the WTC finals when our boys r still in IPL hangover. Whats the point of fighting for WTC points again? Only to get thrashed THRICE? NZ’s success is blessing in disguise, saving men in blue from hattrick embarassment in ICC venue
Great former opening batsman of India Sunny sir
Sunil Gavaskar is a GOD of world cricket. Perhaps he could answer my question. I've looked into many mysteries in my lifetime including the pyramids, the dinosaurs and theoretical quantum physics. But can anyone please tell me HOW WASHINGTON SUNDAR GETS INTO THE INDIAN TEST SIDE?
Main culprits are the coach and the management! Why preparing pitches which are not suitable for Indians? Rahul Dravid and Shastri had shown how to win In India ! Why moving away from that principle? And if you make rank turners you don’t need 2 pacers! Take extra batsmen instead. And in Bangalore pitch which suited pace, India had 3 spinners!
It is Redmentia.. Dementia of playing the Red ball.. White ball and T20 technique has wiped off off patient batting and wearoff the bowlers . All stalwarts including Rohit and Virat are to the blame
VIRAT KHOLI played test and Ranji 8 months back ....and running for single like playing IPL match😢😢😢😢
Mr. Gavaskar get well soon
Seems some senior players are not happy and have a rift under Gautam Gambir leadership. How with in 4 months since Gautam Gambir become head coach the team performance became so worst and defeated by New Zealand 3-0 in test series.
BCCI has said that all players who want to rest can opt out of a series but of course will not be paid. Players want BCCI to declare them as being "rested" which will make BCCI pay them. The players have become greedy and are deliberately losing to try and influence BCCI. India will lose to Australia at least 3-0. Rohit Sharma was a failure in 2019 and 2021 in Australia since they have his number and know how to get him out.
Bring back Coach Dravid or Shastri.
Bring in Pujara and Rahane
Distinguish between 20-20 and test cricket, both players and coach
Senior players need to have their foot on ground and a good mind space.
Vettori was of the opinion that it was due to the NZ batters sticking to their task a little bit here a little bit there epitomised by Youngs average of 50.Therefore India's bowlers may have been found out.
7:59 9 first 10-12 enough for aussies to wrap up indian innings when they play in perth & pink ball test 😂😂😂
Test cricket has been sacrificed on the altar of Money-God of IPL and many t-20s which don't require much technical abilities. Test cricket prepares complete players.
Why Batting fail Due to strike rate all senior players always shouting in media
This is major Reason
Not the Red ball problem
Even White ball ODI India lost to sri lanka 3 -0
So no excuse of red ball issue
Monotony complacency and Ego
Hope India don't lose to Australia by 0-5.Forget WTC final.
NZ HAS BETTER SPINNERS THAN AUS N ENG ... THAT CAUSED INDIAN DEFEAT
Let Me.Gavaskar take a much needed rest from TV interviews. History cannot be erased and our current Indian Test Team has created a new historical record with its abject surrender to less fancied spinners than our own. No point trying to find faults with the Head Coach ..
Mistake of BCCI not treating all players equally. In the past we do have weaker teams, but never whitewashed like this. In fact no kane willamson, trent boult..no big stars! NZ won! We have stars ...only scored m00ns😢! Lost! It is a big lesson to BCCI. It will be good for Indian cricket, if the failed players voluntarily withdraw from future tests now itself. At the end public paying money...should not be taken for a ride..!
What a stupid question new generation players are struggling? In fact Gill, sarfraz, pant, jaiswal washington sundar played recently. Seniors completely failed
Gavaskar...wont tell any thing negative because not to loose BCCI commentary contract 😢😢😢😢
Hubris after 2nd Test win against Bangladesh at Kanpur ... feeling that they can do anything against anyone.
Why has Mumbai Indians changed the Captain
I think Mr Gavaskar is dead right that white ball is the reason for batsmen's inability to tackle spin and seam on bowler's friendly wickets. Its not just Indian problem, batsmen all over the world are less technically sound as compared to batmen of the past
Whatever the situation may be, if the batter doesn't score the runs then pressure comes to bowlers Why.. Bowlers duties to get wickets and score the runs then what the batters will do??? Question is this??
Everything is professional now, if the team wins the match then pass on match fee or the payments otherwise not.
If it happens like this then everyone will do their best.
