IND vs BAN: 'Rahul Dravid Is A Total Failure, Surprising How He Has Held His Position'

IND vs BAN: ‘Rahul Dravid Is A Total Failure, Surprising How He Has Held His Position’. On Sunday, December 25, at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka, the second and final Test of the two-match series was played. India defeated Bangladesh by three wickets. In their second innings, Bangladesh was bowled out for 231 runs, giving India a challenging 145-run goal to reach. By the end of Day 3, the team led by KL Rahul had lost four wickets for 45 runs and needed 100 runs to win.

With 73 off 98 balls, Liton Das made a valiant effort to recover, but Siraj dismissed him when he seemed like making a big score. In an innings in which Kohli dropped him twice—once off of Akshar Patel and once off of Ravichandran Ashwin—Lytton struck luckily.

Even though there were lost opportunities, Kohli continued to field from the slips. Sunil Gavaskar, a former Indian captain, was unimpressed with Team India’s slip-catching strategy.

Only Indian With More Than 200 Catches – Sunil Gavaskar

In Bangladesh’s second innings, Virat Kohli struggled on the field and dropped three catches at slip. Despite having a reputation for having quick reflexes on the field, the former captain of India fell short on Saturday.

While commentating for official broadcasters Sony Sports Network, Sunil Gavaskar questioned the slip-catching technique of Indians. He pointed out how Indians don’t “crouch low for spinners. They stand too upright with hands on their knees. It’s surprising that their coach is Rahul Dravid, who is probably the only Indian with more than 200 catches and a great catcher …”

It Doesn’t Send Good Signals To Kohli – Sunil Gavaskar

The decision to send Axar at No. 4 instead of Kohli was mentioned by the former India captain, who claimed that it was utterly beyond his comprehension.

“It doesn’t send good signals to Kohli. To the world’s best batsman that you bat down. Unless Kohli himself asked for it, then it’s a different matter. We don’t know what happened in the changing room. But it’s hard to understand. Axar has played well, of course.“
