Gambhir’s clarification on change in batching order: Only openers’ place fixed in T20
In the match, Shivam Dubey was sent to bat at number four, while Shreyas Iyer was sitting in the dugout fully prepared. When Dubey came to the crease, the team’s score was 139 runs in 11.1 overs, but he could not perform as per expectations and returned to the pavilion after scoring only 7 runs in 10 balls. Its effect was also visible on India’s final score.
Gautam Gambhir reacted to this and said, “We have used Shivam in this role for a long time, in the T20 World Cup and even before that. In T20 cricket, only the order of the openers is fixed, we always maintain flexibility in the rest of the batting line-up. Sometimes the strategy works and sometimes not, but we will play with the same approach in future also.”
Advocacy of equal competition between bat and ball

Our team is a world champion team, and we will learn from any defeat and keep improving.” Gambhir also praised the match-winning innings of West Indies’ Shai Hope and Sherfane Rutherford.
