"What Do We Know?": Sunil Gavaskar's Fiery Rant After India's Series Loss Against Australia

Legendary Indian cricket team batter Sunil Gavaskar launched a scathing rant following the side's series loss against Australia. India lost the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after 10 years following the six-wicket loss in the Sydney Test on Sunday. The defeat also meant that India were eliminated from the World Test Championship (WTC) Final race with Australia and South Africa now booking their berths for the summit clash. During his analysis on Star Sports, Gavaskar was reminded of the fact that during the series against South Africa in 2024, he advised the team to use the domestic Test matches to prepare for the series against Australia. However, the Indian batters looked mostly underprepared on the pace-friendly pitches Down Under and Gavaskar was left emotional while making his point about the performance.

"Just The Best In The World": Sachin Tendulkar's Special Praise For Jasprit Bumrah

India's pace spearhead, Jasprit Bumrah, garnered special praise from 'Master Blaster' Sachin Tendulkar after ending the Border-Gavaskar Trophy on a record-breaking note. Bumrah displayed scintillating form throughout the Border-Gavaskar series and has his name in the history books. He ended BGT with 32 wickets, making him India's highest wicket-taker in a Test series against the Baggy Greens on Australian soil. His tally, at an exceptional average of 12.64, includes three five-wicket hauls, with a best of 6/76. In doing so, he surpassed Bishan Singh Bedi's record of 31 wickets from the 1977-78 tour of Australia.

"Gautam Gambhir Should Be Saying...": Sunil Gavaskar Drops 'Domestic Cricket' Bombshell

Legendary Sunil Gavaskar on Sunday urged Indian batters to play in the Ranji Trophy without offering any excuses to iron out technical deficiencies that led to their peril in two successive series against New Zealand and Australia. Gavaskar said it was worrying to see the Indian batters churning out underwhelming efforts against New Zealand at home and in the just-concluded series against Australia Down Under. India succumbed to the Kiwis 0-3 before surrendering to the Aussies 1-3. "On January 23, there is the next round of the Ranji Trophy. Let's see how many players from this squad play. There should be no excuse for not being able to play," Gavaskar told Star Sports.
