IND vs ENG, 'Never play for turn on turning pitches' rotate strike: Anshuman Gaekwad

By IANS News March 02, 2021 • 23:32 PM View: 2739

Former India batsman Anshuman Gaekwad was considered a 'wall' during his playing days for his ability to bat with patience and determination, be at Sabina Park in Jamaica against a furious West Indies pace attack, or against Pakistan on a Jallandhar pitch where batting was difficult.

Gaekwad, also a former India coach and chief selector, spoke to IANS on the second and third India-England Tests, played in Chennai and Morera, in which batsmen struggled. It came as no surprise that a lack of patience - a quality that Gaekwad oozed at the crease - disappointed him.
