India is in a trembling situation with the bat ahead of the Border Gavaskar Trophy, to which former Indian cricketer WV Raman feels that India needs the legendary Sachin Tendulkar as their batting consultant. Raman believes that India is having ample time before the first and second tests, and Tendular is the right person to fill India's batting deficiency with his expertise and techniques. Raman took his X handle and expressed, "I think that #TeamIndia could benefit if they have the services of #Tendulkar as the batting consultant in their prep for the #BGT2025," Raman tweeted. Enough time between now and the 2nd test. Roping in consultants is rather common these days. Worth a thought?"

Worth a thought? #bcci #Cricket — WV Raman (@wvraman) November 13, 2024 India's top order is struggling with their bats and is in no way able to assure steady innings on deadly pitches like that in Perth. The New Zealand series at home has given a nice example of possible outcomes in the BGT. In such a situation, players like Raman think Sachin Tendulkar is a necessary option. Read: Fake! BCCI Denies the Report of Closed-door Practice in Perth Sachin Tendulkar in Australia The prospect of Sachin Tendulkar guiding India's batsmen against Australia is exciting, given his outstanding record against them. In 20 Tests, Tendulkar scored 1809 runs at an average of 53.20, including 6 centuries, making him a consistent challenge for Australia throughout his career, both at home and in Australia. His batting brilliance was especially evident on his five tours to Australia, with standout performances like his 241* at the SCG in 2003. Australian fans even honored him with the prestigious Order of Australia in 2012. Tendulkar's familiarity with Australian conditions and his experience against their bowling attack could provide valuable insights to India's team, potentially boosting the confidence of younger players. The Border Gavaskar Trophy is a crucial one for the World Test Championship qualification. Thus, Tendulkar's mentorship could be crucial, as India aims not only for a historic third consecutive series win in Australia but a spot in the WTC final.
