New Delhi, Nov. 14 -- Gautam Gambhir is understandably worried. In less than a year, India will head to South Africa for the ODI World Cup. If the patterns in their recent losses are anything to go by, they have some major issues to sort and very little time to do it in. As New Zealand romped home to a 244-run win over India in the fourth ODI at Mount Maunganui, India were also handed their second-biggest defeat by runs in this format. Matt Henry bowled a memorable opening spell - a triple-wicket maiden - tearing apart India's top order and reducing them to 0/3 in the first over. With Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer all back in the hut, the Indian team could not muster a fightback. "You're always concerned when you get bundled out for 90-odd. Why wouldn't I be concerned? These are the conditions that are going to be closest to what we might get during the World Cup," Gambhir told reporters after the match. The pitches in New Zealand offer a massive contrast to those in India, where run-fests were common against the West Indies recently. Gambhir believes the conditions in New Zealand have offered a reality check. "When you play in India, obviously, we all know that there's hardly anything for the bowlers. But when you come into these conditions, there's actually a good contest between bat and ball. So this is probably the closest." Gambhir believes the issue to address is not just the margin of defeat but the recurring nature of India's batting collapses. "There's no point sweeping it under the carpet. In fact, this wasn't just about this match. If you look back at the previous match, there too, we were seven down for 111 or 112. If you're chasing 135 and you get seven down for 111, obviously, there's a bit of a concern because there's help for the bowlers here." India won the low-scoring ODI in Wellington by 4 runs (DLS method) but they struggled to negate Kyle Jamieson and Jacob Duffy's bowling. Gambhir also stressed the need to adapt to conditions, particularly during the first 10 overs. "We have to be ready not only mentally but from a skill point of view as well. In the first 10 overs, you won't score 70-80 runs here. If you're 35-40 without loss in 10 overs, that is also good enough. Just as the easiest time to bat in India is the first 10-15 overs, here that is probably the most difficult time. Hopefully, we can adapt in the last game." Despite the setback, Gambhir has backed the experience and quality within the squad to bounce back. "You want to try to forget this as soon as possible because we still have so much experience and quality. I'm sure the guys will turn up."...
