Atul Wassan Slams India Players For "Casual Batting", Feels Team Is Filled With "Glamorous Batters"

Former cricketer Atul Wassan feels India's current position in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy comes down to "collective failure" and star players' incapability to make runs has been a well-known issue for the touring party. Wassan believes India is missing "unglamorous" batters in its lineup like Cheteshwar Pujara, who used to see out the entire session while solely relying on his defensive prowess. India fell to a 2-1 series trail after receiving a humbling by Australia in front of a sold-out crowd at the MCG in the Boxing Day Test. Throughout the match, India's pace attack looked out of ideas in patches, and the top batters looked out of their depths across both innings.
