Ganguly baffled at Indian surrender in Adelaide

Former captain Sourav Ganguly was baffled at the abject surrender of the Indian batsmen at the batting surface at Adelaide Oval in the fourth and final Test, saying that even good pitches create problems for batsmen low on confidence.Ganguly said life will be harder for Indian batsmen in the final two days of the Test with the pitch likely to deteriorate.
"Another ordinary batting performance from India,
and this time on a good batting surface at the Adelaide Oval. The batting unit has struggled throughout the series but this effort must be really worrying to the players," he said.
Ganguly praised Virat Kohli for his century knock and said this would give the young batsman a lot of confidence.

"Kohli was brilliant and he looks like a very good player. The knocks in Perth must have given him a lot of confidence and this could be just the innings he needed to get his Test career going. I have always believed one needs to get runs overseas as a Test batsman.

"Kohli is sort of player who goes on to make big scores once he gets in and this is a good sign for a batsman. He has scored eight ODI hundreds but this one at Adelaide Oval will be cherished by him for a long time. What also makes it special is that he has made the runs as wickets kept falling at regular intervals," Ganguly wrote in his column in 'Sydney Morning Herald'.
