India vs. South Africa: According to Sunil Gavaskar, the batter’s true test occurs in spinning conditions, not merely on quick, buoyant pitches (as in the SENA countries).
The second Test between South Africa and India was over in two days. In all, the two-match Test series provided only five days of cricket activity. The first test concluded in three days, but there was no way to explain how long the second test lasted. In a space of five sessions, the teams were all out three times. In addition to criticizing the pitch at Newlands Stadium, some have also expressed concerns about the hitters’ technique.
Sunil Gavaskar views batter skill differently. He believes that the batter’s true test occurs in spinning circumstances, not only quick and buoyant pitches (as in the SENA countries).
This is the main goal of playing Test cricket. Someone is going to test you. And to be really honest, I think I’ve always held the opinion that if you can’t play on pitches where the ball turns into the batter, you’re not a batter. This belief is prevalent in the media in the Southeast Asian nation, especially if you think that way,” Gavaskar was quoted as saying by India Today on Star Sports.”I apologize. If you cannot play the turning pitch, you are not a batter because there are two movements for the bouncy pitch over here.
As the ball starts turning, you need to move down the pitch where there are four spinners. Using the crease is crucial. You can display every picture.
You know what, then? Regretfully, I believe that this is something that our media ought to be covering. Indeed, our media ought to be discussing this, but they are reliant on player interviews occasionally, if not always, and they don’t want to enrage anyone. Consequently, they won’t doubt the batting prowess of a few abroad players. However, that is the method.”
During his 103-ball 106, Aiden Markram, who may have played his best Test innings under the most difficult circumstances, stated that he felt like he could be out at any moment.
Attack seemed to be the strongest form of defense on this course.
“Yes, aggression is the best form of defense in certain situations. It seems like it will only be a matter of time till you leave. When you’re there, you have to make the most of it and win.
Squeeze a 50; in difficult circumstances, it might go a long way. Partnerships and roles. It may be necessary for someone to stay put and allow another player to score.” Without holding back, Markram acknowledged that being bowled out for 55 in the opening innings was disappointing.
“Excellent performance? Not fifty-five, for sure. It was really challenging. You may occasionally discover that you nick every ball. It seemed like we were having one of those days.
“With hindsight, we should have strived for 150. The game would have been excellent. It was challenging to return from there.”
