T20 WC: Gavaskar Questions India’s Approach For 'simply Throwing Bat At Everything' After 76-run Thrashing By SA
T20 World Cup: After India slumped to a crushing 76-run defeat against South Africa in their Super Eights clash of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, former India great Sunil Gavaskar highlighted a clear difference in strategy between the two teams, noting that the Proteas demonstrated adaptability that India could not showcase.
Riding on David Miller's 63 off 35 balls and Dewald Brevis’ 45, South Africa recovered from 20/3 to post 187/7 before bundling India out for 111 in 18.5 overs in front of 90,954 fans. Marco Jansen's 4-22 and Keshav Maharaj’s 3-24 dismantled India’s chase, which never gathered momentum after slipping to 51/5 inside 10 overs.
Reflecting on the game, Gavaskar underlined how Miller and Brevis rebuilt the innings on a sluggish black soil pitch where the ball held up and stroke-making was far from straightforward.
