New Delhi. Taking lead in the first innings despite being all out for 185 runs can be such a boost for any team that leads to victory. India did the same in the Sydney Test against Australia. When India restricted Australia to 181 runs after scoring 185 runs, the smell of victory started coming. For this, better batting is needed in the second innings. India has covered half the journey, but work still remains. At the end of the second day’s play, India has scored 141 runs for 6 wickets. There is every possibility that the results of the Sydney test will come on Sunday.
Sunil Gavaskar and Irfan Pathan talked about Indian performance after the end of the second day of Sydney Test. In the post match show of Star Sports match, Sunil Gavaskar said that India was in a hurry to score runs, which was not needed. He said that when you are in trouble, you should show your natural game. Rishabh Pant did the same, but the same cannot be said for other batsmen.

Sunil Gavaskar said that Shubman Gill did not show his natural game. He is a good batsman, but going forward and playing shots is not his strength. This can happen in T20, but not at all in Test matches. He lost his wicket by playing a bad shot.
Sunil Gavaskar also called Nitish’s shot bad. He said that Nitish had settled at the crease. Was showing good patience. But he lost the wicket by playing a shot in the air when only 15-20 minutes were left in the game. After all, what was the need for such a shot? What was the hurry to score runs? After all, how many runs can they score in 10-15 minutes?
On the question of Virat Kohli being out in the same manner for the eighth consecutive time, Gavaskar said that now it has become normal. This needs to change. Gavaskar said that Kohli is using his right leg less while batting. He moves his left foot forward quickly, which gives him less time to release the ball. Kohli will have to work on this.
