Border Gavaskar Trophy 2023: India has started with a win in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023. India has defeated Australia by an innings and 132 runs in the first Test match of this 4-match Test series. After this shameful defeat of the world’s number one Test team, former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has reprimanded the Australian team and the media.
Gavaskar said this was not expected from Australia
In an interview given to India Today after the match, Sunil Gavaskar said, “You don’t expect a team like Australia to collapse like they have. There is a problem in the first match, it takes time to get used to the conditions, but I don’t think that Australia’s decision of not playing the practice match was beneficial for them. Yes, they did practice with the net bowlers, but if that practice match Had he played, he would have got more help.”
Let us tell you that the Australian cricket team had refused to play the practice match after coming on the tour of India. He had opted for net practice with all the local bowlers of India. Australia had practiced on the balls of an Indian bowler with Ashwin’s action but it did not work in the Nagpur match. Ashwin dropped Australia’s 5 wickets in the second innings and got them all out in one session and won the match.
Did the kangaroos get upset with the Australian media only?
On the ruckus about the Nagpur pitch, former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar said, “The Indian media has never said anything about the pitch. It is the Australian media who have repeatedly created hue and cry about the Nagpur pitch.” In such a situation, if Australian cricketers are smart then they will tell their media that hello friends, let us play our cricket, you do what you have to write.
