Within the second and third (Assessments), they (Rohit and Gambhir) aren’t on the identical web page, like Rahul Dravid was. He and Rohit weren’t on the identical web page,” Basit mentioned on his YouTube channel.
Basit additionally criticised veteran spinner Ravindra Jadeja’s inclusion within the staff for the continued Check, questioning the logic behind the identical.
“I can clarify it very simply. In all three Assessments matches, a distinct spinner performed. In two Check matches, they batted after successful the toss, however right here they selected to bowl. There are three left-handers within the Australian batting….So why not (Washington) Sundar and why not (Ravichandran) Ashwin? Anyone who understands cricket will certainly discuss it,” he added.

If I say it is Bumrah vs Australia, that can be proper. Equally, it is Travis Head vs India…Neither Rohit, nor (bowling coach) Morne Morkel and (chief coach) Gautam Gambhir are capable of clear up this downside.
“India haven’t got a left-arm quick bowler of their squad. That is a weak hyperlink. We’ve got seen Mir Hamza or Shaheen Shah Afridi accounting for Head as a result of that is a distinct angle. That is why, for those who see, Bumrah bowls around the wicket to Head,” Basit additional identified.
