This is what overconfidence can do: Ravi Shastri on India's defeat in 3rd Test at Indore

Former India head coach Ravi Shastri gave his take on India's 9-wicket loss against Australia in the 3rd Test at Indore. "This is what a little complacency, a little bit of overconfidence can do where you take things for granted, you drop guard and this game will bring you down," Shastri said. If you look at the Indian wickets, you will find it is the Indian batters who got themselves out, playing some shots anticipating that this is what the pitch is going to do," Gavaskar said. It was the pitch that actually started to play on their minds, even in the first innings but more so in the second innings," he added.
