Veteran cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has supported Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav. After the India-Pakistan match ended on 14 September, captain Team India did not join hands with Pakistani players. Before that, at the time of the toss, Suryakumar Yadav did not join hands with Pak captain Salman Aga. He said that it was the decision of the team. Now Sunil Gavaskar has put his response on this entire controversy.

Pakistan team targeted

After the Indian team did not join hands, Pak captain Salman Aga boycotted the post-match presentation. When Salman did not come in the presentation, Sunil Gavaskar tightened up and said, “I don’t think it would have made much difference on anyone. People will be willing to listen to the captain who won more than the excuses on the Pakistani captain’s defeat.

Said on not joining hands

Sunil Gavaskar said on the controversy that does not join hands, “It is a personal decision of a player what he has to do and what not. Many times people abuse you or behave indecently in the field, which is not acceptable at all. If someone takes your name to join hands with other players, it is not right to expect.”

He further said, “I do not know what actually happened on the field, whether words were exchanged between them or not. But no player wants him to join hands, it comes under his rights.”

Explain that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has complained to the ICC about this case, in which the laws related to sportsmanship were accused of violating. PCB has even demanded the removal of Andy Picroft, who was a match referee in an Indo-Pak match, with immediate effect.

Will young men complain of cold on the border- Sunil Gavaskar

Let us know that fast bowler Mohammad Siraj played all five Test matches against England and threw a total of 185.3 overs, in which he took 23 wickets. On the other hand, India’s star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah was available for only three matches and could not play even in the fifth Test match played at the Oval under his charge management.

Sunil Gavaskar clarified that he was not criticizing Bumrah, as it was a case of more injury management than something else. Gavaskar said in a conversation with ‘India Today’, “When you are playing for your country, forget the pain and discomfort. Do you think you would have complained about the cold cold on the border. What did Rishabh Pant show you? He came to bat despite fractures in his feet. The same is expected from the players. You hope for India.

He said, “You are representing 140 million people and this is what we saw in Mohammad Siraj. I think Siraj bowled wholeheartedly and he finished the word like work forever. In five Tests, he bowled 7-8 consecutive overs in five Tests, because the captain was expecting the same from him and the country expected the same from him.”
