T20 WC: WI Cannot Be Taken For Granted; India Needs A Smart Plan To Handle Their Batting Threat, Says Gavaskar
"As they say, 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it'. But India were broken against South Africa. They realised they needed a right-left combination at the top. Learning from the previous game was very important. Now the West Indies is a completely different challenge. They cannot be taken for granted. Their batters are in top form. Their bowlers are doing well. They punish opposition mistakes and strike at the right time.
“India will need a good plan to handle the West Indies batting threat. Their batters start playing shots from ball one. They do not wait to see if the delivery needs respect. Their way of respecting the ball is by hitting it over the ropes. So India will have to play smart, come up with plans, and outfox the West Indies in a way they do not expect. Sunday's match is surely going to be a cracking one," Gavaskar said on JioStar.
