Sunil Gavaskar, an Indian cricket icon, has drawn parallels between India's recent Test series win over Australia and past controversies involving Indian cricketers, suggesting that India thrashes Australia when maligned by the Australian media.
India n cricket icon Sunil Gavaskar has referenced the infamous Harbhajan Singh v Andrew Symonds clash while saying that India will “thrash” Australia in the ongoing Test series.Get your first month for just $1. Limited time offer., and claimed that India surged to victory whenever they were maligned by the Australia n media. He said that the romping first Test win in Perth was inspired by T20 World Cup slights.
“There was so many things being written in the media in Australia question the legality of that catch. How can you sitting right here in Australia question if Suryakumar’s feet touched the ground? “Those hands are a bit tired these days or not quite in sync. Replay that first-innings dismissal against Jasprit Bumrah on the first evening. It was his first ball, and he had retreated well behind the crease, almost square-on, pads brushing each other, his back facing the stumps – nothing about that position is ideal in the orthodox cricket way, but Smith smudges out orthodoxy.
“Between the two Australia tours, he had played 54 innings with an average of 33.11. So much so that his overall average, which was 53.41 by the end of 2020, had dropped down to 47.83 before the first Test in Perth. If it had been anyone else, they would have been dropped from the team a long time ago. But Kohli is not any other player. He is the most successful Test captain India have ever had and arguably the best all-format batter of his generation,” Gomesh wrote.
