Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir, however, decided to focus on positives and refused to choose a bowling unit for blame.“After each test, we can’t question our pitching. How do we adjust them? We have to constantly support our players. We have to build a fast bowling battery,” Gambhir said at a press conference after the match.He also pointed to India’s failure with the bat as a key reason for loss. “The best Fielders in the world have dropped catches. Batting, yes, disappointment. We could have dominated if we scored over 600 in the first shifts,” he admitted.
