India in deep trouble in 3rd Test at Indore, Australia needed only 76 runs to win in the second innings, Shubman Gill who came in the XI by replacing KL Rahul failed to make an impact but Former Indian Cricket Harbhajan Singh defends Shubman Gill despite failures.
“See, the game plan is simple here. You can’t survive on this pitch with defence. Pujara was using his feet throughout his innings. If you’re thinking that you can wait out for a spell and score runs later, it won’t work. Even if you’re playing on 70-80 on this pitch, you can get out with just one odd delivery,” Harbhajan said.
“You have to look out for the opportunity to score runs. You need to see where you can get a four. Shubman wanted to go for a six, and when you consider the pitch condition here, his approach was right because you can’t defend on this pitch for long,” he added.
