IND vs AUS: ‘India messed up tactically as they….’, Wasim Jaffer issues fresh warning to Kohli as Rohit & Co eye series win

IND vs AUS: Will Virat Kohli be able to silence his critics in Ahmedabad? Despite scoring several hundreds in the limited-overs formats, Kohli has been somewhat struggling to translate his form into the second edition of the ICC World Test Championship.

IND vs AUS: Sharing his views on the timeout with ESPN Cricinfo, Jaffer said that India will look to bounce back after losing the third Test to Australia in Indore –

“I think India will make a better comeback. It’s a good wake-up call. They must improve on their batting, especially the likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Shubman Gill as they are due for runs.”

IND vs AUS: As India eye a series win over Australia in the final of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy on Thursday, former India opener Wasim Jaffer has urged Kohli and Co to deliver after receiving a ‘wake-up’ call in the Indore Test

“The top five should help the Indian bowlers with runs. If they score 300-400 runs, their bowlers become a lot better. Virat Kohli is due for runs big-time and I expect him to return to his old form and hopefully, India wins the Test match.”

IND vs AUS: Jaffer added –

“I was surprised and disappointed as Axar Patel’s contribution was critical to India’s win in Delhi. Axar Patel has looked the most comfortable of all Indian batters and he was also unbeaten in the previous Test. He batted at number nine in the second innings and ran out of partners. Hence, India messed up tactically as they sent KS Bharat and Ashwin ahead of Axar.”
