Former captain Sunil Gavaskar says India’s failure to make good starts cost them the ODI series vs New Zealand and the team’s batters should take a leaf out of Virat Kohli’s (124) book to understand how an innings should be paced.

“Unless Kohli got substantial support, it was always going to be difficult, and he got very little of it. The real problem for India throughout the series has been the starts. India never began well, and that’s one of the main reasons they weren’t able to chase these big scores,” he told JioStar.
