Sunil Gavaskar On Indian Team Attacking Approach In Tests : Team India recently batted very well during the Kanpur Test match against Bangladesh. The Indian team was successful in defeating Bangladesh only because of its attacking approach. After this victory of the team, head coach Gautam Gambhir was praised a lot. It was said that this change in the approach of the Indian team came because of Gambhir. However, former opener Sunil Gavaskar does not agree with this. According to him, the credit for Team India's brilliant batting should completely go to captain Rohit Sharma.

India had scored 50 runs in just 3 overs in the Kanpur test match against Bangladesh. This was India's fastest half-century. All the batsmen including Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal batted very well. For this reason, it was being said that this is 'game ball', because the Indian team did this kind of attacking batting under the coaching of Gautam Gambhir.

Gautam Gambhir has no contribution in India's attacking batting – Sunil Gavaskar

According to Sunil Gavaskar, the credit for this should completely go to captain Rohit Sharma. He said in his column in Sportstar, as was seen in India last year, this approach does not work in Tests. The opposing team can be surprised only in one or two matches. One paper called the Indian team's batting 'Bossball' because captain or team boss Rohit Sharma showed the team that way. Some old people called it 'Gameball' after Gautam Gambhir. Gautam Gambhir has been coaching for only a few months. Therefore talking like this is like licking their soles. Gautam Gambhir himself never batted like Brendon McCullum used to do in Test cricket. Full credit for this should be given to Rohit Sharma. Instead of using such words, according to me, the captain's first name should be used. This should be called 'Gohit' approach.
