Sunil Gavaskar believes resting Mohammed Shami for the third Test harmed India.

Mohammed Shami, an Indian fast bowler, returned to the team for the fourth Test match against Australia at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium. Due to task management, he missed the third Test at the Holkar Stadium in Indore. On Day 1 of the ongoing fourth Test, the speedster's first outing was a little errant as Australian openers Travis Head and Usman Khawaja made a strong start to their runs.

Sunil Gavaskar, a former cricketer for India, questioned the team management for resting Shami for the third Test because there was an eight-day gap between it and the fourth Test after noticing Shami was out of sync. Mohammed Shami's restraint was a poor decision. Between the second and third tests, you had an eight-day vacation. The first two tosses he made were military medium bowling. The hitter is anxious even though he has not yet struck out.

He has the chance to observe what the pitch is doing if he witnesses the ball travel harmlessly to the goalkeeper. Then, he can psychologically begin to relax a little bit, Gavaskar said on Star Sports. The first projectile was thrown at you by great bowlers. You should probably avoid giving Shami a break because you are aware that he prefers to spin in rhythm.

I believe it's crucial to activate your bowlers muscles because doing so in the gym doesn't work them. With nine wickets taken at an average of 18.44, Shami has taken the most seamers in the game. Rewinding to Day 1 of the fourth Test, Australian skipper Steven Smith decided to bat first after winning the toss.
