Gautam Gambhir Expresses Concern Over India's Batting Collapses Ahead of 2027 World Cup
India's head coach Gautam Gambhir expressed serious concern over the team's repeated batting collapses during their 244-run defeat to New Zealand in the fourth ODI. India were bowled out for 89 in 26.4 overs while chasing 334, with Matt Henry taking six wickets. Gambhir emphasized that the rapid collapse, especially in conditions similar to those expected at the 2027 World Cup in South Africa, is worrying. He rejected claims of unplayable deliveries, urging batters to adapt technically and mentally to seam-friendly conditions, particularly in the first 10 overs.
