This special report features cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar and Cricket Association of Bengal President Sourav Ganguly analyzing the recent collapse of Indian batting as they chase a low total. Gavaskar vehemently refutes the suggestion that the pitch was to blame, attributing the loss to the batsmen’s faulty approach and lack of experience on such surfaces due to a lack of playing domestic cricket. He contrasts this with Sourav Ganguly’s view that the team should play on better pitches. Gavaskar stated, “So it’s just bad technique and bad temperament that has put us in this situation.” The debate also touches on the absence of the injured Shubman Gill and whether the team’s strategy of running tough spins backfires, with Gavaskar advocating that the curators be left to do their jobs independently.
