Sunil Gavaskar: New Zealand showed how India’s T20I batting can be troubled with short-of-length bowling

With India having wrapped up the T20I series against New Zealand by the third match itself, the remaining two matches were more of academic interest. This is not to make an excuse for the Indian team’s defeats in both these matches. It is simply to state that once the series is decided, the cutting-edge intensity can dip a bit. When that happens, there’s little chance of coming back from a tough situation in the ultra-short format.
