Gautam Gambhir smashed India’s batting against Pakistan and has a stern message for seniors 

The Indian cricket team received a rude shock from the quality pace of the Pakistan cricket team as the famous top order Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill made early exits. Indian captain Rohit Sharma fell for 11 in the fifth over, while Virat Kohli (4) fell in the seventh over. India were 66/4 in 14.1 overs. Both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma fell prey to Shaheen Afridi’s excellent bowling. The left-arm pacer also caught India’s top scorer Hardik Pandya (87) and Ravindra Jadeja (14). Shreyas Iyer took 4 and scored 14. Had it not been for Hardik Pandya (87) and Ishan Kishan (82), India would have struggled to cross the 250-run mark. In the end, they set Pakistan a target of 267 runs.

India’s World Cup hero Gautam Gambhir was not at all happy with the batting order. He noted that India’s pensioners should hit the “tough spots”.

In the form of Ishan Kishan, he scored a half-century when he opened for the West Indies. Older players should hit in difficult areas. Not young. If anyone wants to bat at number 4, it should have been Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma. Seniors should take hard work. You should give the youngster his natural position so that he can shine,” Gautam Gambhir said on Saturday. Rain played a spoilsport in the match. There were several delays as the second batch washed away.
