1 of 1

New Delhi. After India’s impressive 106-run win over England in the second Test of the five-match Test series, former cricketer Zaheer Khan has raised a big issue about the team’s batting unit.

Praising the stellar performance of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill, Zaheer Khan said that there is a lot of scope for improvement in the Indian batting lineup.

Vizag Test saw a strong performance from Jaiswal, who registered his name in the record books by scoring 209 runs in the first innings. Then, Gill played a brilliant inning of 104 runs in the second innings.

These innings laid the foundation of India’s strong position in the match and set a challenging target of 399 runs for England.

However, Zaheer Khan expressed concern over the poor performance of other Indian batsmen. Players like Shreyas Iyer and Rajat Patidar failed to capitalize on their chances, which highlights a serious issue.

Zaheer Khan said that if you are behind in the series, you need aggression, fight and belief to ensure that it is tied 1-1 after the match is over.

Zaheer Khan told GeoCinema, there are some concerns when you look at the team. Batting is something they will talk about because in these conditions on this kind of surface, we have seen India perform better.

Praising Rohit Sharma’s good captaincy, Zaheer Khan also highlighted the important role played by the captain in utilizing the bowling unit well, especially in pressure moments.

He said that on the bowling front also you had the talent of Jasprit Bumrah. On a surface like this you felt that your spinners were under pressure at times and because of this they needed help from the batsmen. This is where the captain needs to play a role, and Rohit has been brilliant when it comes to all these factors and situations.
