"India Can't Beat Australia 4-0": Sunil Gavaskar's Mega Prediction With WTC Final Spot At Stake

Legendary Indian batter Sunil Gavaskar has made his prediction for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series in Australia. India need to win at least four Tests out of their remaining five in the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 cycle to guarantee qualification to the final without having to rely on other results. Gavaskar has stated that he does not believe Team India will be capable of beating Australia 4-0 in Australia. However, Gavaskar also mentioned that India's focus should be solely on the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, and not on the possibility of making the WTC final."India cannot beat Australia 4-0 in the Test series, I'd be very, very I'd be over the moon. If they do that, I would be over the moon if they do that. But 4-0. India can win 3-1, 4-0 is... don't talk about the World Test Championship final. Now just focus on trying to win the series in Australia. Never mind whether you win 1-0,2-0,3-0, 3-1,2-1. But go and win. Because that is how all of us Indian cricket fans are going to be back to feeling good again," said Gavaskar, speaking to India Today.
