Even though the Men in Blue completed a clean sweep, they dropped several catches and made many fielding errors during the three-match T20I series against Zimbabwe.
India's fielding has been a major concern for the Indian National Cricket Team lately. Before the Zimbabwe tour, the Men in Blue had a disappointing tour of Ireland and England.
He said that every player must save runs and take catches because fielding is now as important as batting and bowling. He feels that if a player is not good enough in the field, the selectors should take a tough decision, no matter how talented that player is with the bat or ball.

Sunil Gavaskar questions India's batting approach and poor fielding
The former Indian captain further added, “Shot selection is very important, and here the batter has to rein in his ego and not try to live up to an image but play the ball on its merits.
"Stop playing reckless cricket": Sunil Gavaskar slams India's batting
Apart from fielding, Sunil Gavaskar also questioned India's batting approach in the recent white-ball series. He believes the Indian batters have not shown enough match awareness, especially during the England tour. They failed to chase 183 in one match and then could not reach 155 in the next game.
Gavaskar further explained, “It’s necessary to play smart cricket. So, figure out the bowler who doesn’t need to be counter-attacked. Then target the bowlers against whom you can make up for the quiet over from the better bowler."
"No team in the world has five top bowlers, and there will always be eight to 12 overs in a T20 game where the runs can be looted. Similarly, in the 50-over format, a little patience won’t hurt even if the team is chasing a big score like 380-plus.”
