"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.
