Gavaskar Slams England’s Arrogance After India’s Test Triumph
India’s resounding 4-1 victory over England in the Test series has sparked a scathing attack from former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar. Despite missing key players and losing the first Test, India’s young team led by Rohit Sharma displayed exceptional resilience and dominance.
Gavaskar’s criticism centers on England’s perceived arrogance and condescending attitude towards India. He contrasts this with the more affable and adaptable nature of Australian players, who have embraced the Indian culture and the lucrative opportunities offered by the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Gavaskar argues that the Aussies’ willingness to integrate and respect Indian culture has fostered a positive relationship between the two teams, despite the intense rivalry on the field. In contrast, he believes England’s “supercilious attitude” has created a sense of animosity.
Gavaskar’s comments come after he expressed disappointment with Sarfaraz Khan’s reckless shot selection in the fifth Test. He emphasized the importance of patience and discipline, even for experienced batsmen.
India’s victory has solidified their position at the top of the World Test Championship points table, while England languishes near the bottom. The series has highlighted the depth and talent of India’s young players, who have stepped up in the absence of senior stars.
