The Indian team has to play the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia from November 22. For the first time, BGT will play five Test matches. This has never happened before. India has won the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in the past four times, two of which were won in Australia and won the tricolor. But it won’t be easy for the Indian team this time. India swept the Test series against New Zealand at home 0-3. This dealt a big blow to India’s chances of qualifying for the World Tests. Now, Sandeep Patil, who won the 1983 ODI World Cup with India, has made an important statement.
Former selection committee chairman Sandeep Patil expressed confidence that the team is too good to be bothered by such setbacks. Speaking at the launch of his new book Beyond Borders, Patil said he could only play against Australia on Australian soil. They have to forget what happened last time there. They also have to forget what happened in the series against New Zealand and look to the future.
Failure as a warning: Sandeep Patil
He said, before winning the World Cup, we lost all the practice games. Therefore they should be remembered. You have to think positively and play the same way, only then you will get better results. If you play defensive cricket and think about winning, it’s not going to happen. He said this series loss was like a warning. It’s not that our team didn’t play well. A few months ago, he won the T20 World Cup. We have some big-name players on the team who will definitely come back. He must have learned a lot from this failure.
Team New Zealand wins the series for the first time
New Zealand had won just two Test matches against India before this series and then won three Test matches in a row in the same series. New Zealand won the Test series on Indian soil for the first time. Meanwhile, India suffered the pain of a home sweep for the first time in a Test series of three or more games. Team India’s star batsmen Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli suffered miserably in the series.
