The former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar is quite pleased with the big victory of the Indian cricket team over England as Rohit Sharma led squad defeated Ben Stokes led team by 4-1 in the 5-match test series.
Recently, Sunil Gavaskar took a jibe at England while writing a column. He wrote that what makes this victory sweeter is the fact that the superiority complex of team England got smashed by a relatively young Indian squad.
Not to forget to mention that India played without their star players – Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and Mohammed Shami but the youngsters such as Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel, Sarfaraz Khan, Akash Deep and Devdutt Padikkal made the maximum use of the opportunity given to them.
Sunil Gavaskar wrote, “What a walloping, what great fun to watch a young India team demolish an England team that had arrived in India with the usual ‘we are doing you a favour’ attitude that brings a smirk on the faces of those Indian officials who go to receive them at various airports.”
Sunil Gavaskar also wrote why the Australians are more successful than the English cricketers in the IPL. He wrote, “The Aussies have been invariably better, looking to adapt themselves to the culture and not look down their noses at us natives. It also helps that the Aussies recognise a golden goose when they see one, and the IPL is certainly a humongous golden goose. Not only do Aussie players, some so memorably described by Kevin Pietersen as second or third-grade cricketers, go for astronomical amounts, but there are also Aussie coaches, physios, trainers, and anybody who is their golf and beer buddy in the IPL coaching staff, making more money than they do at home.”
Sunil Gavaskar was in a savage mood, what do you say?
