Former Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar has said that questions are asked on a team’s poor performances only when they lose a big match and not when things are going perfectly.
You lose one match and we start taking potshots at the team: Sunil Gavaskar
“None of these questions would have come if we had won the match. You lose one match and we start taking potshots at the team,” Gavaskar said on India Today.
“I know there are issues that can be looked at, for example, the workload management thing. I think we should also look at the number of members we carry. Too many talking heads can confuse players. If we had gone to the final, we would have been talking about who should be playing in the XI,” he added.
“We are very famous for these knee-jerk reactions and having a go at our team when we lose, don’t think it’s the right way. I know we need to look at measures to strengthen our teams and for that, if we have to take hard calls, other than you and me there is a selection committee that is appointed so they will have to take the hard calls,” the cricketer-turned-broadcaster further added.
