Former India cricketer Gautam Gambhir slammed Australia opener David Warner following his string of low scores in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar series.
Gambhir slammed Warner and questioned his technique despite his third tour to India.
“There is no doubt that if you see this innings from Warner, he was clearly struggling. It was not only against Ashwin, who has an amazing record against him, but also against Mohammed Siraj and Mohammad Shami. This is your third tour and you have been playing in the IPL for 15 years,” said Gambhir on Star Sports.
“It is not that the conditions were very different. The Indian batters go to Australia just 15 days before the Tests, get to play one practice match, and you have played a lot in India and despite that, you have such numbers,” he added.
“When you rate Indian batters based on their performances when they go to Australia, if you rate David Warner’s performances similarly, he has struggled a lot in both India and England in Test cricket. He has not liked playing Test cricket in both England and India, so we shouldn’t say that he is an amazing batter. He is an amazing batter only in Australian conditions and nowhere else outside,” he said.
David Warner has been ruled out of India vs Australia 2nd Test with concussion and Matt Renshaw named as substitute.
