This is not cricket, this is just batting: Head coach Gambhir critical of Guwahati track

Following a high-scoring one-day international encounter where over eight hundred runs were compiled, national team manager Gautam Gambhir expressed strong disapproval of the conditions at the venue. During a post-match discussion on Wednesday, the former cricketer remarked that the contest favored batsmen too heavily while reducing bowlers to mere spectators.

The fixture saw the target surpassed after opposing batters posted a total exceeding four hundred, leaving pacers with minimal margin for error due to fielding restrictions and dual ball usage. Despite handing a debut to debutant Auqib Nabi alongside teammate Gurnoor Brar during the series fixture, the mentor defended their performances despite heavy scoring against them.
