T20 World Cup: With India out of the semi-finals, Sunil Gavaskar believes the team will need to change their approach to power play overs.

New Delhi: It was an unforgettable tournament for the Indian cricket team when the men's in blue semi-final hopes of the T20 World Cup came to a daunting end yesterday when Afghanistan lost to New Zealand by 8 wickets at Sheikh Zayed Stadium Abu Dhabi as Kiwis and arch-rivals Pakistan qualified for the business round of the tournament.

With Team India out of the ongoing T20 World Cup, legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has some suggestions to fix the team's hit and field problems. India finished third in Group 2 after beating Namibia in the last Super 12 game and saw their hopes shattered in the semi-finals when New Zealand beat Afghanistan on Sunday. Gavaskar believes India's punch approach needs to change in the power play overs. "It is not right to make too many changes on a team because India did not lose all of their games. In two games the rackets have not been able to deliver what was expected of them and that is why India in one State is The approach needs to change, "he said

"The fact that there are only 2 field players outside the 30-yard circle in the first 6 overs has not taken advantage of India in the last ICC tournaments. Therefore, when India plays against a strong team." , one who has good bowlers ... India can't score. So that has to change, "he added.

Gavaskar also stated that the team only has "3-4 outstanding outfield players". Comparing India to New Zealand, he believes they "need players who are phenomenal in the field".

"The second and most important thing is that they should have players who are phenomenal in the field. The way New Zealand put up, saved runs, made catches ... it stood out. Even if the attack is normal, the field is calm, good field. " can make a huge difference. When you look at the Indian team with the exception of 3-4 outstanding outfield players, you can't rely on the rest to save runs or to dive at the border, "he said.
