Fiery Sunil Gavaskar shuts down foreign experts giving opinion about Indian cricket

Several experts and fans are giving their opinions on Team India’s combination for the upcoming ODI World Cup 2023. Even foreign experts have not restrained from giving their opinions on various aspects about Indian cricket.

However, former India captain and 1983 Cricket World Cup winner Sunil Gavaskar is irked by the foreign experts giving their opinion on the Indian team combination.

Gavaskar’s outburst came after former Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Najam Sethi indicated in a post on X (formerly Twitter) that India are afraid to play Pakistan.

“If you see the statements that come out from their side...sadly our media gives them the prominence. We have Pakistan players, and Australian players selecting Indian team. How is it their concern? Do any Indian players go and select the Australian or the Pakistan team? It’s none of our business. But we allow that,” Sunil Gavaskar said during an interview.

“From there it’s always Babar is better than Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma; Shaheen Afridi is better than so and so. Inzamam-ul-haq is better than Sachin Tendulkar. For them, they are always better than us. That is the way they have to cater to their audience,” the Little Master said.

“Don’t give them space in your papers. You have a South African player saying a player should be in your team. You have an Australian saying something else. It happens too often. They say who should bat at no. 3 or no. 4. Common, we don’t need your advice,” he added.
