Sourav Ganguly pinpoints India’s loopholes after BGT 2024-25 loss, ex-BCCI boss says ‘you have to score 350-400 runs’

Live Mint  

India's defeat in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia after 10 years was a collective effort. If Jasprit Bumrah was the lone positive light with 32 wickets in the series, a fragile Indian batting order made the job easy for the Australians in the last four Test matches. Former India captain and ex-BCCI president Sourav Ganguly reasoned India's batting behind their loss Down Under. “We did not bat well, we have to bat well in Test cricket,” Ganguly told reporters in Kolkata. Although India managed three centuries in the series - Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli and Nitish Kumar Reddy - in other occasions, the Indian batting went down heavily.
