Sidhu’s big statement on defeat in BGT series
In a conversation with Aaj Tak, Navjot Singh Sidhu has given a big statement on Team India’s defeat in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against Australia. Sidhu (Navjot Singh Siddhu on Team India Lose BGT vs AUS) said, “Life will be full of challenges, it depends on whether you are ready for it, it is said that never cook rice, this is a defeat. Expectations are too high. We have won two Border Gavaskar Trophies, so the public memory is short-lived. The biggest reason for the defeat is that Australia was a stronger team than us.”
Regarding Australia’s pitch, Sidhu said that so much grass had never been seen on the pitch in Sydney ground and Australia was prepared for that condition because they had three great fast bowlers in the team and India had only one Bumrah and their Mohammad Siraj was with him. If Mohammed Shami had been there, the Australians would not have provided grass on the pitch. You say that no one stays on the pitch, the reason behind this is that you play 12 Tests in a year, 18 ODIs and 39 T20s, in such a situation you play ODIs for 210 days and you play Tests for 130 to 140 days. So where are the days left in the year when you will play domestic cricket?
