Actually, the Men in Blue have failed to defend 250 runs against the West Indies in the second T20I in Ranchi, where the touring side secured a stunning six-wicket victory with nine balls remaining.
Gautam Gambhir believes that the game of cricket becomes more exciting when batters and bowlers get a fair chance to perform. He pointed out that bowlers work extremely hard to reach the international level, and conditions that heavily favour batters can put their careers at risk.
Speaking at the post-match press conference, Gautam Gambhir said, as quoted by ESPNCricinfo, "You don't want a good bat-and-ball competition? What you want to see, that's also what we want to see. We also want to see an even contest. These bowlers are our bowlers, not someone else's bowlers. Their careers are at stake; they have worked hard to sit in this dressing room. If it's an even competition, we'll see a better game of cricket.”

Gambhir further opined, “You don't shrug off any defeat. If you want to keep improving, you don't want to put anything under the carpet. We are a world-champion team, so we want to keep improving. These are obviously tough conditions to bowl—we know flat wickets with the dew—obviously it's tough, but we need to figure it out and find the way.”

India's batting strategy also came under the scanner after the team managed only 39 runs between overs 12 and 16. Shivam Dube was promoted to No. 4 ahead of the skipper Shreyas Iyer, but the move did not help India maintain their momentum during that period.
He signed off by saying, “This is international cricket; sometimes it goes your way, sometimes it doesn't. And more importantly, we've always been flexible with our batting lineup, and we'll continue with it. I've said in T20 cricket only the openers are fixed.”
