Don’t Want To Think About Averages, Strike Rates: Gambhir On India’s Bold Approach In T20Is
T20Is Down Under: India head coach Gautam Gambhir said the team doesn’t approach a game thinking about averages and strike rates but instead focuses on the impact that a player can create in a given situation. His remarks came after India’s recent 2-1 T20I victory over Australia Down Under.
In a video interview shared by the BCCI on Monday, Gambhir spoke on Team India's dynamic and flexible batting order in the T20Is and the bold approach adopted by the players.
“That has been the ideology from day one. When I took over as the head coach, from Sri Lanka till now, it hasn't changed. Batting orders are very overrated, except the openers obviously, because they’re permanent. Everything shuffles because it's not the amount of runs that matter in T20 cricket; it's the impact that matters. People sometimes miscalculate or do not differentiate between the batting order, the runs, and the impact. Runs are different and impact is different in T20 cricket; it is all about the impact, it's 120 balls, and every ball is an event.
