“It might be more conducive to bat against them in daylight” : Adam Gilchrist reveals how Indian can be defeated in World Cup 2023.
Adam Gilchrist, the former Australian wicketkeeper and World Cup champion, has expressed his admiration for India’s remarkable performance in the 2023 World Cup. He believes that the Indian team is a formidable opponent that will pose a significant challenge for any team. However, Gilchrist has also offered a strategic suggestion for opposition teams, such as Australia, when they win the toss in knockout matches against India.
Gilchrist highlighted the exceptional skills of Indian bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Mohammed Shami, particularly when they are operating under the floodlights. He suggests that one way to potentially neutralize their impact is for the opposing team to opt for batting first if they win the toss.Speaking to Fox Cricket, Adam Gilchrist shared his thoughts on Team India’s performance and the strategic approach teams should consider when facing them in crucial knockout matches.
Gilchrist said “I think firstly winning the toss and batting first, given how India have gone about their business. I don’t suggest that they have a weakness in chasing. They have the greatest-ever run-chase co-ordinator in Virat Kohli.”But the damage that the Indian bowling attack has been doing under lights, they have been lethal. Siraj, Shami, and Bumrah have been almost unplayable. It might be more conducive to bat against them in daylight.”
