I know batters played poorly to some extent but if you see ball was coming too low at often times and overturning as well at a few scenarios any good batsmen can fail to play such things.
The pitches were terrible and the ball was keeping really low, some of the dismissals were because the players were not having solid defense. Rohit Sharma was stumped in the first innings, Pujara was out trying to play an extravagant cut as soon as he reached the crease which was a terrible shot and Shubman Gill was dismissed in the second innings charging down the track where he completely lost the line of the ball and gifted his wicket.
Shreyas Iyer needs rest as they need to give some youngsters a chance.
Such a disaster on one's home ground is somewhat worrying. But it is very clear that the pitch condition does not work in favor of the batsmen. Australian team also don't got too many runs either. However, Indian Test captain Rohit Sharma feels that the Indian batsmen should have done better. However, the lack of consistent performance of some players is the big reason for the defeat in the first Test. In the first innings Pujara, Ravindra Jadeja, Shreyas Iyer and Ashwin no one could do well. Again in the second innings a batting disaster of Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja and Srikar Bharat failed to add more runs to the team's total score.
