India vs New Zealand: Sunil Gavaskar questions New Zealand's batting order after defeat in Nagpur T20 – ‘Didn't make sense to me..’
Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar said that New Zealand's batting order in Nagpur against India in the first T20 did not make sense as they died due to heavy losses.
“This is New Zealand's visionary Glenn Phillips had a very good innings with the loan. She got 100 a few days ago. You don't want someone who has scored 100 runs in relation to the form. You want the form to continue, because That's good. Not just for her, but for the whole team. And that's why it's a little surprising that Daryl Mitchell, we have a few hundred (in ODIs) to come in at number six, "Gavaskar said on Geohotstar “It didn't matter to me, but they probably had their own reasons for why they wanted to. I thought she should have come in at n three. Probably ahead of Glen Phillips, and then the same partnership has moved on. Who knows? They must have driven India even closer.”

“I think New Zealand needs Phillips, number four, yeah, but I just don't think they know their whole combination yet,” Doull Nah “At the moment, T20 is probably the worst format of Rachin Ravindra with the bat. I think it should be Finn Allen, Tim Seifert, Daryl Mitchell, and then this guy at number four, Glenn Phillips. I think a This is how the top four should be seen moving forward. Phillips is a very good player. I think Michelle needs a little more time. And so number three suits her. I don't think he's the kind of player who can come out and get it out of the ball. So I think she needs a little more time. So, number three, for me, suit him, Allen and Seifert from behind the power. So I think they have You must go.”

That's why this series is a little tester. I agree with Sunny, number 6 is too low for a person who has just come back - back a century. him batting on three should have done, ”said Dowl.
