New Delhi. Getting a lead in the first innings despite being all out for 185 runs can be a boost for any team that leads to victory. India did the same in the Sydney Test against Australia. When India restricted Australia to 181 runs after scoring 185 runs, the smell of victory started coming. For this, better batting is needed in the second innings. India has covered half the journey, but the work is still left. India has scored 141 runs for 6 wickets at the end of the second day's play. There is every possibility that the result of the Sydney Test will come on Sunday.
Sunil Gavaskar and Irfan Pathan talked about the Indian performance after the second day of the Sydney Test. In the post-match show of Star Sports, Sunil Gavaskar said that India was in a hurry to score runs, which was not needed. He said that when you are in trouble, you should show your natural game. Rishabh Pant did the same, but the same cannot be said for the rest of the batsmen.
Sunil Gavaskar said that Shubman Gill did not play his natural game. He is a good batsman, but playing shots by coming forward is not his strength. This may work in T20, but not at all in a Test match. He lost his wicket by playing a bad shot.
Sunil Gavaskar also called Nitish's shot bad. He said that Nitish was settled at the crease. He was showing good patience. But he lost his wicket by playing a shot in the air when only 15-20 minutes were left in the game. After all, what was the need for such a shot? What was the hurry in scoring runs? After all, how many runs does he score in 10-15 minutes?
On the question of Virat Kohli getting out in the same manner for the eighth consecutive time, Gavaskar said that now it has become normal. It needs to be changed. Gavaskar said that Kohli is using his right leg less while batting. He moves his left leg forward quickly, due to which he gets less time to release the ball. Kohli will have to work on this.
