Former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar said he got the impression that India was carrying the hangover of dominance they had in the Border-Gavaskar trophy into the Indore Test.
The hosts were convincingly beaten by Australia on Friday as they chased 76 runs with relative ease and nine wickets to spare.
“I got the impression that India was carrying the hangover of the dominance that they had in the series so far. They won the toss and batted first for the first time.”
“So immediately the onus was on them to call the shots in the game and I thought they were just trying to dominate a bit too early and didn’t assess the pitch out. So too many attacking shots under the assumption that they knew the pitch and that is where I guess where India faltered,” said Manjrekar.
