New Delhi, Jan 9: Sunil Joshi, the former India spinner who was chief selector during the 2-1 Test series win in Australia in 2020/21, believes the current Test team batters should play more domestic cricket matches, claiming that it would aid them in getting their run-making groove. India recently suffered a 3-1 Test series loss in Australia, where captain Rohit Sharma made just 31 runs in five innings, while Kohli, despite hitting an unbeaten century in India's 295-run win in Perth, made only 190 runs across all five matches.
New Delhi, Jan 9: India's historic twin Test series victories in Australia were greatly influenced by their impressive bowling line-up. However, the gap between Jasprit Bumrah and the other bowlers was clear in their recent 3-1 Border-Gavaskar Trophy series loss to Australia.
New Delhi, Jan 9: Australia reclaiming the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at Sydney after ten years meant India couldn't achieve its ambition of making a three-peat of Test series wins on Australian soil. It was a tour where India's batting didn't click in unison, as seen from them being unable to go past the 200-run mark six out of nine times.
