After the second Test match between India and South Africa, Sunil Gavaskar said, “Sorry, You’re Not A Batter If…”

The second Test between South Africa and India was over in two days. In total, the two-match Test series provided just 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 nations).

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 since there are two motions for the bouncy pitch over here. You must go down the pitch where the ball is spinning, since there are four spinners. Use of the crease is required. Every picture may be shown.

“So, what do you know? Regretfully, I believe that articles on this should be published in our media. You know, our media need to be discussing this, but they aim to please no one, which is why they are sometimes, but not always, so reliant on player interviews. As a result, they won’t doubt some of the abroad players’ hitting prowess. But that’s the protocol.

During his 103-ball 106, Aiden Markram, who may have played his finest Test innings under the most difficult circumstances, said that he felt like he might be out at any moment.

Attack seems to be the strongest form of defense on this course.

“Yes, aggression is the greatest form of defense in some situations. It seems like it will only be a matter of time till you go. When you’re there, you have to make the most of it and win.

Squeeze a 50; under difficult circumstances, it may go a long way. Partnerships and roles. It may be necessary for someone to stay put and allow another player to score.” Without holding anything, Markram acknowledged that being bowled out for 55 in the first innings was disappointing.

“Excellent performance? Not fifty-five, for sure. It was very challenging. You may sometimes discover that you steal every ball. It seemed like we were having one of those days.

“With retrospect, we should have strived for 150. The game would have been excellent. It was difficult to return from there.”
