The Indian team lost the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT 2024-25) after several years. Pat Cummins’ Australia proved to be too much to handle for the visitors, as after a win in the first Test, India failed to register any wins and lost the clashes in Adelaide, Melbourne, and Sydney.

Talking about the Indian team’s performance throughout the series, former India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar came forward and talked about the side. He opined that India’s performance in the New Zealand series at home should be talked about as well. Besides, Gavaskar admitted that the higher-ups should be ready to take the tough decisions if they are looking to win trophies in the future.

“What I saw were technical deficiencies. If you have been making the same mistakes, and I am not just talking about this series—I am talking about the New Zealand series as well—what did you do against New Zealand in India? And that’s why, now, because the next cycle will start in June, we have not qualified for the World Test Championship. From now on, we should be ready for it. If we have to take tough decisions, then we will have to take them,” Gavaskar told Star Sports.

How many Indian players have scored centuries?: Gavaskar

Furthermore, Sunil Gavaskar pointed out the low willingness of players to score big. He asked which players scored centuries, or even half-centuries throughout the series and contributed towards the changing the complexion of the match.

“How many Indian players have scored centuries? Except for the first Test match with two centuries, there is only the century of Nitish Kumar Reddy. How many players made half-centuries? You can say it is not easy to make a century, but how many players made half-centuries and tried to turn the match? It did not happen because the application that is required in Test cricket—the application and determination—was very low,” He added.
