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.
