Sunil Gavaskar pointed to the number of full tosses and deliveries that missed their intended lengths, saying bowlers must take responsibility instead of blaming the surface. His comments came amid discussions about India's pitches, with head coach Gautam Gambhir also expressing his preference for conditions that provide a better contest between bat and ball.
According to Sunil Gavaskar, the pitch could not be held responsible for deliveries that allowed batters to score freely. He pointed to the West Indies bowlers' improved accuracy as an example of how better execution eventually brought wickets.
“Only later, when they bowled the right length or delivered yorkers, did they find success,” Sunil Gavaskar added.
Yeah, it was holding a bit and there were some more bounces as well - Shreyas Iyer on Hyderabad pitch
India captain Shreyas Iyer offered a slightly different perspective, acknowledging that the surface had begun to hold up and produce extra bounce during the middle overs. However, he also credited the West Indies bowlers for adjusting their plans and using the field effectively when India threatened to regain control.
“Yeah, it was holding a bit and there were some more bounces as well. But yeah, knowing that I feel the bowlers, they realized it,” Iyer said after fourth T20I.
I feel going forward we don't have to think much about, our bowling - Shreyas Iyer
Despite the defeat, Iyer backed India's aggressive batting approach ahead of the series decider. India had scored 248 in the previous match and managed 223 against West Indies' 247 in Hyderabad, showing their willingness to pursue challenging targets.
“Well, obviously, getting 220, especially when we were chasing and then scoring 250, you can see the approach and attitude of every individual. So the approach is going to be same and I feel going forward we don't have to think much about, our bowling,” Shreyas Iyer said.
