Well done to Virat Kohli! Gavaskar said - No need for big names... They think that if they don't win without them...
India has performed brilliantly so far in the Test series against England. Former Indian cricket team captain Sunil Gavaskar is very happy with the performance of Indian young players. Without taking his name, he has fiercely targeted Virat Kohli in conversation.
Virat Kohli is not included in Team India in the 5 test match series being played against England. She is on a break due to the birth of her second child. Young players are performing brilliantly in the absence of Kohli and that is why India has maintained an unassailable 3-1 lead in the series. England had started the series by winning the Hyderabad Test, but after this, the youngsters under the leadership of Rohit Sharma performed brilliantly and defeated the British in three consecutive Tests. Former Indian cricket team captain Sunil Gavaskar is very happy with the performance of Indian young players. Without taking his name, he has fiercely targeted Virat Kohli in conversation.
In the current test series against England, young Indian players have excelled. With two double-hundreds, Yashasvi Jaiswal leads the run-scorer in this series. His bat is blazing. In contrast, in the first match in Ranchi, Dhruv Jurel batted brilliantly and Akash Deep bowled viciously. In the first game in Rajkot, Sarfaraz Khan had previously amassed half-centuries in each of the two innings. Sunil Gavaskar is pleased with how all of these young Indian players performed.
This is the reason Gavaskar, in a statement to Sportstak, has always maintained that big names are not necessary. If any big player thinks that India cannot win without him, then these two series have shown that your presence or not does not make any difference to the team's game. It does not depend on any one person.
Gavaskar further said that the Indian team was missing some big names in Australia, but then it had registered a spectacular win not only in Gabba but also in Melbourne. Made a brilliant comeback after being all out on 36 and won in Melbourne. Then worked hard to save the Sydney Test. If Pant had stayed at the crease for even half an hour, India could have won. The courage, stamina, patience and determination shown by the young players on that tour of Australia is visible against England also.
