Indian Cricket Team would be riding high on confidence after restricting Australia to 263 runs. The pitch was not a rank turner as compared to Nagpur where the spinners had to work hard for their wickets. David Warner’s poor run continued as the left-handed batter managed to score 15 runs in 44 balls where he struck 3 fours & was dismissed by the right-arm speedster Mohammed Shami.

Australia would be disappointed as Travis Head couldn’t perform according to his credentials. The batter had come in the place of Matt Renshaw. Mohammed Shami was the wrecker-in-chief who took 4 wickets and bowled immaculate line & length despite getting smashed for boundaries

Gautam Gambhir on David Warner

Gautam Gambhir was having an interaction with Star Sports and was asked about David Warner.

“There is no doubt that if you see this innings from Warner, he was clearly struggling. It was not only against Ashwin, who has an amazing record against him, but also against Mohammed Siraj and Mohammad Shami. This is your third tour and you have been playing in the IPL for 15 years.” said Gautam Gambhir.

“It is not that the conditions were very different. The Indian batters go to Australia just 15 days before the Tests, get to play one practice match, and you have played a lot in India and despite that, you have such numbers.” he added.

Gautam Gambhir Takes a Dig at David Warner

Gautam Gambhir made some shocking statements about David Warner.

“When you rate Indian batters based on their performances when they go to Australia, if you rate David Warner’s performances similarly, he has struggled a lot in both India and England in Test cricket.” said Gautam Gambhir.

“He has not liked playing Test cricket in both England and India, so we shouldn’t say that he is an amazing batter. He is an amazing batter only in Australian conditions and nowhere else outside.” he added.
