The stylish top-order batsman of India, Gautam Gambhir, feels the lack of patience among the Indian batsmen led to India’s catastrophic performances in England and Australia.
Speaking to the media reporters after a pre-IPL training session of Kolkata Knight Riders on Sunday, Gambhir said that the young lot of Indian batsmen lacks much needed patience, especially on the bouncy tracks of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746. This, according to
Gambhir, is one realistic reason behind India’s back to back humiliating Test series whitewashes at the hands of England and Australia.
"I think the way forward for the Indian cricket team is to reassess all the mistakes and learn from them,” insisted the 30-year-old opening batsman from Delhi. “I think we need to give players a lot of exposure in diverse conditions. By doing that, we will
help create a talent pool which will help fill any void created when senior cricketers retire," he added further.

and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556, either retired or on the verge of retirement, this would help the rebuilding process of the Indian team, feels Gambhir.
“The youngsters from U-19 need to be exposed to more tours of England and Australia, where they get to play on fast bouncy tracks, something we aren't used to in the sub-continent," he added further.
India's U-19 team is scheduled to play a quadrangular one-day series in Australia, starting next week. The series will also include England and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zimbabwe-c3045.
