Before the Champions Trophy final, Gavaskar gave the mantra of victory to captain Rohit, also gave advice to bowlers

Dubai

The Champions Trophy is to be finalized on March 9 at the Dubai International Stadium between India and New Zealand. But before this match, Sunil Gavaskar, who was India’s opener, has advised Rohit Brigade and said to improve some companies.

Gavaskar said- India has performed brilliantly in the tournament, while all four matches have been easily won. But Rohit Sharma’s form is a bit messed up. Rohit has scored 104 runs in 4 matches of Champions Trophy at an average of 26. Where his highest score is 41.

Gavaskar said- When you look at the openers, you find that he did not give the Indian team the kind of start he expected. It has not happened, I think there is something lacking there.

Gavaskar also described the second shortage. He said- I want to take wickets in the first 10 overs with the new ball, but this is not happening.

At the same time, Gavaskar also said- We did not get wickets in the middle overs, although runs were not being scored, so these are such Aria in which you will perform better, the possibility of winning the final will be equally better.

At the same time, Gavaskar advocated to play 4 spinners in the team during this period. Gavaskar said- I think it will have 4 spinners. This must happen, why will there be changes now? The involvement of Chakravarti shows how effective he can be, so why should there be a change in the team now.

“Many errors need improvement”

In a conversation with a channel, Sunny said, “Team India’s performance has not been imperfect. When you look at the openers, they have not started the team that he was expected to. This has not happened at all. Similarly, I clearly believe that there is a flaw with the new ball. In the first ten overs, you want to take two-three wickets with a new ball, but this is not happening “, he said,” We have not taken wickets in the midl overs. However, the flow of runs has been curbed, but wickets are also necessary. So there are many areas here, in which you can improve. If this happens, India’s chances of winning the title will be better. “
“There is no need for any change in the team”

Gavaskar also said that the management should not take too much change in the XI in the finals and should land on the field with four spinners like the last two matches. He said, “I think he is going to eat with four spinners and this must happen. Why is there a need for change? “, Sunny said,“ The feeding of Varun and Kuldeep has shown how effective they can be. Also, in ODI or any format, wicket -taking ball dot ball (empty ball). There is no need for any change in such a situation. “

‘There should be no change in playing-11’
Gavaskar also believes that India should not make any changes in its playing eleven in the final and should stay on the formula to feed four spinners. He said that the involvement of both Varun Chakraborty and Kuldeep Yadav has strengthened India’s invasion and should not tamper with the winning combination. He said, ‘I think there will be four spinners. Kuldeep’s inclusion has shown how effective he can be.

‘Rohit bat for a long time’
Gavaskar advised Rohit to bat for a long time instead of focusing on giving the team a fast start. After India’s victory over Australia in the Champions Trophy 2025 semi -finals, head coach Gautam Gambhir defended Rohit’s vision and said that the star batsman is judged on his impact, not on his numbers. However, Gavaskar was not impressed by this comment and said that if a batsman like Rohit rests at the crease for 25-30 overs, he will take the game away from the opponents and it should also be included in his gameplay.

‘Rohit did not get that much success’
He said, ‘This is an approach he has been following for the last two years. It started with the World Cup in India and maintains this formula. They have got some success, although probably not as much expected. He is an incredibly talented player who has many types of shots which many others do not have in the game. Gavaskar said, ‘Rohit batting 25 overs also will be around 180-200. Imagine if they have lost only a few wickets by then. Just think what they can do! He can bring India’s score to 350 or beyond. ‘ Gavaskar said that Rohit should not be happy after scoring 25-30 and his influence for his team should be much more.

‘Rohit bat for 25-30 overs’
He said, ‘They also need to consider it. It is one thing to get off the field and play aggressively, but there should be conscience somewhere to give yourself a chance to bat for 25-30 overs. If he does so, he will take the game away from the opposition team. Such an impact is to win the match. I want to know that as a batsman, are you happy scoring 25-30 runs? You should not be! So I will say the same to them, your impact on the team will be even more if you bat for 25 overs instead of just seven, eight or nine overs.

India’s possible playing 11 in the Champions Trophy final: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Akshar Patel, KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakraborty
