Legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar expressed disappointment with the Indian bowlers’ performance on the first day of the second Border-Gavaskar series Test at the Adelaide Oval. Australia was comfortably placed at 86\/1 at stumps after bundling out India for 180 in their first innings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“They have to make the batters play as much as they can. And this is what happens when you make the batters play as much as you can,” Gavaskar told Star Sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gavaskar believes that the Indian bowlers haven’t really been able to use the pink ball like they should have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Indian bowlers have not really used the pink ball as well as they should have,” Gavaskar added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
