Team India: Border-Gavaskar Trophy of 5 matches was played between India and Australia (IND vs AUS), Australia won this series by 3-1.
The Indian team had won the first match of this series, but since then Team India failed to win any match. The biggest reason for the defeat of the Indian team was its bowling and batting.Except Jasprit Bumrah, no player failed to perform well in the entire series. In such a situation, we can say that Team India missed 4 such players who, if they had been a part of Team India in this series, the Indian team could have won all the matches.
Last time Team India had come against Australia without Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah and under the captaincy of Ajinkya Rahane, the Indian team had won the series with net bowlers, even in the last test match, most of the Indian team Players were injured and it seemed that Team India would not even be able to make the playing 11.
However, Team India not only made its playing 11 in that match, but also defeated Australia. The Indian team would have been successful in defeating Australia this time too, but it clearly missed these 4 Indian players.
Cheteshwar Pujara is now 36 years old. Cheteshwar Pujara has been performing well in domestic cricket recently. In such a situation, he should have got a chance in Team India. After not getting a chance in the Indian team, he was seen doing commentary in this series.
Cheteshwar Pujara was the hero of this series last time and despite getting red marks on his body from the balls of Australian bowlers, he laid the foundation of the Indian team's victory in Gabba.
If Pujara had been a part of Team India this time too, perhaps the Indian team would not have faced so much trouble in the middle order.Team India also felt the absence of Ajinkya Rahane, the star player of the Indian team and who made India win in Australia under his captaincy last time, in this series. Recently, he was seen scoring a lot of runs in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, so ignoring this player proved costly for Team India.
The performance that Jasprit Bumrah performed for the Indian team in Border-Gavaskar was also appreciated by the Australian players. Travis Head even called him the greatest bowler in the world. Jasprit Bumrah did not get help from the other end. If he had got the same kind of help from the other end, perhaps the result of this series would have been different.
Mohammed Shami was not a part of this series due to injury, if Mohammed Shami had been fit then he could have done for Jasprit Bumrah what he needed, in such a situation Team India clearly missed Mohammed Shami.
Hanuma Vihari is called Angad of Team India, once he sets his foot on the field, it is difficult for anyone to remove him from there. Hanuma Vihari can spoil the condition of the opposition team with his patience on any ground. Last time he was a part of Team India on Australia tour and despite being injured during this time, he won the match for India with Ashwin by batting with one hand in Sydney and Team India also won the series with this.
In such a situation, this time the Indian team missed this player in the middle order, if he had got a chance in the batting lineup of Team India in place of Washington Sundar or Ravindra Jadeja, then perhaps the result of this series would have been different.
