Gavaskar on India’s exit: We didn’t make big runs

Sunil Gavaskar

The Indian batters' failure to score enough against strong teams was the primary reason for the team's ordinary campaign in the T20 World Cup, said legendary former captain Sunil Gavaskar, urging the side to change its approach in power-play overs.

"The way Pakistan and New Zealand bowlers restricted our batters, didn't let them score freely was the main reason why India didn't progress. Dew was making batting easy [in second innings] because the ball wasn't turning, spinners' balls were going straight," he told Sports Tak. "Batting second was an advantage but if you had 180 odd runs then your bowlers would have got those 20-30 runs cushion. When you are making 111 [against NZ] then dew doesn't come into the picture. We didn't make runs and that is the main reason."
