The Australians witnessed what Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman’s massive organisation looked like in 2001. I’m sorry to bring that up for you (to Justin Langer).
They played bat for nearly two days. The following day, India returned and defeated Australia to win.
And afterward proceeded to win the last Test too. Australia is unlikely to consider a follow-on, in my opinion.
Because if they do, India’s bats will be strong. India has the potential. They made some misinterpretations. They made a few blunders,” Sunil Gavaskar said on Star Sports.
“They were out bearing a few conveyances, getting bowled. They could score a few runs like it occurred at the Eden Nurseries.
Ravindra Jadeja has the ability to perform magic on the final day when the ball is turning. In this way.
India’s most memorable objective is to move beyond that score of 269 and attempt to diminish the lead however much as reasonably expected.”
