Gambhir worried by India's rapid collapse against New Zealand
By News Desk — API··~1 min read
India's collapse to 89 all out in 26.4 overs against New Zealand in Mount Maunganui has alarmed head coach Gautam Gambhir ahead of next year's World Cup in South Africa. According to Sportstar, the speed of the collapse—rather than the low score itself—troubled him most after Friday's 244-run defeat.
Gambhir said India's batsmen struggled with technique and judgment against moving deliveries. He highlighted that New Zealand's opening phase is unusually testing compared to domestic cricket, and urged players to improve their response to accurate bowling rather than playing tentatively from the crease.
