India's legendary cricketer Kapil Dev suggested the Rohit Sharma-led side practice more ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 after New Zealand made history by defeating India 3-0 in a three-match series. Win series win against India, Blackcaps becomes the first side to whitewash Men in Blue on their home soil.
After losing the Test series against New Zealand, India's chances of qualifying for the World Test Championship final depend upon the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 results. Rohit Sharma-led side needs to win 4-0 in the five-Test match series to seal their berth for WTC final for the third consecutive time.
“Go back to the basics. Practice and practice and practice. If you say I will improve by sitting in the room, then it is not going to happen. If you are going through a rough time, just practice more. The more you practice, the better it will be for you," Kapil told CricketNext.
Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 is scheduled to take place in Australia from November 22 and this will be India's first Test series in Australia under Rohit Sharma's captaincy.
