New Delhi: After the eight defeat of the goal against New Zealand, the former Indian opening Gabir has slammed the LED side of Virat-Kohli, by saying that they have skills but do not have much needed mental toughness to win the Bigc Ko Bigc match at the ICC Tournament.
India has given up on pressure and lost two consecutive matches, against Pakistan and New Zealand, at the T20 World Cup.

The loss of goal to Pakistan, followed by 8 goal defeat in the hands of their traditional Bogey team in the ICC, Kiwi tournament, meant that the blue men looked at the exit was very early.
They still have three matches left to be played, but when things stand Pakistan are great favorites in Gambir, the Indian team has skills but they don’t have mental strength to win important matches in events.
