"Selectors And Board Should Be Asking Questions": Sunil Gavaskar Unhappy Over India's WTC Final Strategy

India's wait for an ICC title got extended when they lost the World Test Championship Final against Australia by 209 runs in June. At The Oval in London, Australia were boosted by centuries from Steve Smith and Travis Head while their bowlers were up to the task too. Barring a 89 from Ajinkya Rahane in the first innings and Mohammed Siraj's bowling, there was not much to write home about from the Indian side. Former India captain and batting legend Sunil Gavaskar was the BCCI and the team selectors to ask questions on the performance.

He played 104 Tests for India, scoring 8,586 runs at an average of 49.34, which included two triple-hundreds.

Ajinkya Rahane's assured approach in the middle has been the hallmark of his comeback and the Indian team will need him to maintain form when it tours South Africa later this year, said batting coach Vikram Rathour. Rahane's 89 and 46 was probably the only positive for India in their loss to Australia in the World Test Championship final in London last month. It was Rahane's first Test in 18 months and following that, he was named vice-captain for the ongoing tour of the West Indies.
