Gautam Gambhir Expresses Concern Over India's Batting Collapses Ahead of World Cup
India suffered a heavy 244-run defeat to New Zealand in the fourth ODI, being bowled out for 89 runs in 26.4 overs while chasing 334. Head coach Gautam Gambhir expressed serious concern over the team's repeated batting collapses, especially given the conditions resemble those expected at next year's World Cup in South Africa. Gambhir emphasized the need for technical and mental preparedness, rejecting claims of unplayable deliveries and urging batters to better negotiate challenging early overs against bowlers like Matt Henry, who took six wickets.
