Sunil Gavaskar Flags Issue India "Have To Worry About" Despite T20I Series Wins

After the debacle at the T20 World Cup last year, India have gone on to notch three straight T20I series clean sweeps, equaling a record for the most consecutive T20I wins after completing a 3-0 whitewash of Sri Lanka in Dharamsala on Sunday.

After losing to Pakistan and New Zealand in their opening two matches of the T20 World Cup last year, India have won their next 12 matches - against Afghanistan, Namibia and Scotland at the T20 World Cup and then winning three series at home featuring three matches each against New Zealand, West Indies and Sri Lanka.
