The Pick Youngsters Played At Last Test In Australia

The Former captain Sunil Gavaskar on Friday said that at least three senior cricketers may not be selected again for the national Test team after what has already turned out to be a disastrous tour for India. The India were headed towards their second successive Test series whitewash with another massive defeat looming large in the fourth and final Test in Adelaide, and Gavaskar said time has come for the likes of Virat Kohli to be handed more responsibility.

The great Indian batsmen got bogged under pressure. There's some sort of defeatist attitude hanging around, even the most experienced players have been affected by it. The India missed out on the chance to experiment with Kohli. The same situation happened in the West Indies and England. With some extra zip, India could have won the series in the West Indies 3-0. In England, they were flat-footed not only on the field but also in their thinking.

- Scorecard

Opting to bat at the Queens Park Oval on Monday, West Indies found the going tough against the Indian bowlers from the onset and managed to post a modest 214 for nine.

In reply, the visitors achieved the target with four wickets in hand and 31 balls to spare.

"We didn't score enough runs, we kept taking wickets but the total wasn't big enough to put pressure on them (India). It's about going out there and put a challenging total on the board but we couldn't do that," Sammy said.
