Test Cricket Is Changing Because Of White-ball Game, Art Of Defending Is Diminishing, Says Gambhir
Maharashtra Cricket Association: The advent of T20 cricket has caused a churn in long-form cricket and the modern Test players have forgotten the art of obdurate defending and grinding out the bowling. The approach now is to have a swing at the bowling, especially with England unleashing its Bazball tactics and India following suit under new head coach Gautam Gambhir.
Though Gambhir rejected the suggestion that his batters have lost the skill to play spin on a turning track like they did against Mitchell Santner in the second Test of the three-match series at the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) Stadium in Pune last week, the 43-year-old player turned coach said the art of playing Test cricket has changed because of T20 format and the World Test Championship that the International Cricket Council has launched a few years back.
"To be a successful Test cricketer, you see people like Virat (Kohli). You see all the great players who've done really well in Test cricket for a long period, they've always had good defence. The foundation of your batting in Test cricket has to be defence and then you start taking up from there.
