You can’t expect one or two batsmen to perform, and then expect to win the series: VVS Laxman

Recently, while speaking on the Star Sports show Game Plan, former Indian batsman VVS Laxman stressed the importance of the collective performance of the batting unit for a positive result in a Test series.

"One thing that Ravi Shastri and Virat Kohli need to address is - the match-winning performances from their batsmen. They overly depend on one or two batters in overseas conditions, especially in conditions like England. If you want to beat England in a five-Test series, then you want to have a collective performance from your batting unit. You can’t expect one or two batsmen to perform, and then you expect to win the series. And that is something that Ravi Shastri and Virat Kohli would like to address,” said VVS Laxman.
