Gavaskar warns Team India ahead of World T20

Gavaskar believes that the biggest learning India could take from the opening T20I loss is that they played too many dot balls during their innings, leading to a low score of 148.

"In Delhi, I think there were 55 dot balls in the 1st innings, which in my opinion is too much," he said during a talk show with Sports Tak.

Although Dhawan played a decent knock, scoring 41 in the opening T20I, Gavaskar was unimpressed by his slow innings.

"The team's not going to benefit if you're scoring 40-45 runs from the same number of balls. He will have to think about this. When players come back after the gap, it does take a lot of time to get back the rhythm," he explained.

India lost Rohit early on and the responsibility was on Dhawan to carry them forward.

KL Rahul (15) perished soon after. Dhawan carried on and stitched a 34-run stand with Shreyas Iyer (22).

At 102/5, India were in a spot of bother. However, important contributions, later on, helped them surpass 140.

In reply, Bangladesh batted sensibly and won the match.

As India prepare to strike back in the second T20I on Thursday, the teams would be wary of the cyclone threat, which looms large over the match.

Provided the match is washed out, India might again have to be contained with a series draw, if they manage to win the final T20I in Nagpur on Sunday.

Consequently, it would also affect their T20I ranking.
