Need to adapt better, reset will take time: Gautam Gambhir

India’s T20 squad is in transition following a “reset”, declared head coach Gautam Gambhir, as he attributed the horrendous run in the ongoing tour of UK to an acute lack of game awareness and failure to read the conditions correctly.

India slumped to their heaviest-ever T20I defeat in terms of runs, losing by 125 to England in the third T20I on Tuesday. The visitors are now 0-2 down in the five-match series. “We just haven’t played well,” Gambhir said at the post-match press conference here.

“There are a lot of changes from the XI that played the T20 World Cup final to now. Be it the captain, be it the opening batsman. There is no Hardik Pandya, there is no Jasprit Bumrah,” he pointed out.

“When you go for that reset, it takes a bit of time. If you see, a 15-year-old (Sooryavanshi) is opening, Prince Yadav is in his second T20I, and Harshit is back from an injury. We look only at results, results are important in international cricket, but we have to be practical,” he added.
