Sunil Gavaskar, who was furious with the Indian team for their lackluster performance in the World Test Championship final against Australia, was singled out for criticism on Sunday, focusing specifically on Virat Kohli.
Gavaskar expressed his displeasure by calling the batting performance “ridiculous.” On the fifth and final day, Australia defeated India by a score of 209 runs in a match that was largely under control by their team.
Gavaskar was furious about the outcome and vented his anger at Kohli and the other Indian players for their poor play throughout the match.
“Today’s batting was a complete mess.
It’s possible that someone just popped into his head and said, “Strike rate, strike rate.” You’ve barely survived one session. Come on, Gavaskar said to broadcaster Star Sports, “Eight wickets have not lasted a session. The outcome meant that India’s dismal performance in ICC tournaments persisted.
In one over, Australian pacer Scott Boland eliminated Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja, effectively ending India’s chances of winning the match after they were bowled out for 234 on the final day at The Oval.
Gavaskar noted a pattern in his claim that Indian batters consistently made mistakes near their own landmarks.

“It took place to Jadeja. He played a delivery that he shouldn’t have when he was (on) 48. Ajinkya Rahane, who was 46, experienced this. All along, he had not played that shot. Now that you’re aware of that landmark, you might be wondering why you played that shot. “
Boland, who invited the batter to go for a drive on a wide delivery, and the batter complied, bowled Kohli, who had made 49 off 78 balls, out to end the game.
