A livid Sunil Gavaskar on Sunday blasted the Indian players and did not spare Virat Kohli after the team`s meek surrender in the World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia, saying the batting was "ridiculous".

"The batting was shambles today. It was just ridiculous what we saw today. Especially the shot making. We saw some ordinary shots yesterday from (Cheteshwar) Pujara, somebody you never expect to play that shot.
