Sunil Gavaskar reprimanded the ‘Old Powers’ of cricket for tarnishing the image of Jay Shah
In all likelihood, Jay Shah will be the next ICC president. As he has done for Indian cricket, players around the world, both men and women, will benefit- Sunil Gavaskar Sunil Gavaskar & Jay Shah (Photo Source: The second term of the current ICC chairman Greg Barclay ends in November 2024. Barclay does not want to become the ICC president for the third consecutive time. The news of BCCI secretary Jay Shah becoming the next ICC chairman has intensified. Let us tell you, questions are also being raised on Jay Shah that he has forced Barclay not to consider a third term. Meanwhile, former cricketer Sunil Gavaskar spoke openly on the matter and blamed the ‘Old Powers’ of cricket for tarnishing the image of Jay Shah. Gavaskar also stressed that Jay Shah’s becoming the ICC President will have a positive impact on World Cup cricket as it has on Indian cricket. Sunil Gavaskar got angry on the ‘Old Powers’ of cricket Former Indian legend Sunil Gavaskar wrote in his column on Sportstar, In all likelihood, Jay Shah will be the next ICC President. As he has done for Indian cricket, players around the world, both male and female, will benefit. When Greg Barclay announced his decision not to go for a third term, which he deserved, there were reports in the ‘Old Powers’ media that Jay Shah had forced Barclay’s decision. Gavaskar further wrote, When the perennial cribbers were questioned about what their representatives of the ‘Old Powers’ were doing, it suddenly occurred to them that if Barclay was indeed forced not to seek a third term, what were their own representatives at the ICC doing at the meeting. Where were their voices of disapproval? And if there were none, they were equally guilty of pointing fingers. This is called the ‘Tall Poppy Syndrome’ (criticising a person because of his success) and also the realisation that they no longer run international cricket.” Jay Shah has done a great job as BCCI secretary. He played a key role in introducing equal pay for men’s and women’s cricket in India. He also recently announced a system to promote red-ball cricket and also announced prize money for Player of the Match and Player of the Tournament in all women’s and junior cricket tournaments.
Sunil Gavaskar got angry again on this decision taken during the Australia tour, said- “Are you going to play or rest…”
Later this year, Team India will play a five-Test long series under the Border Gavaskar Trophy on Australian soil. Sunil Gavaskar Jay Shah (Source X) Team India’s adventure in the Test format will begin in another month. India will play two Tests against Bangladesh from September 19 and three Tests against New Zealand from October 16 on home ground. After this, Team India will play a long series of five Test matches under the Border Gavaskar Trophy on Australian soil later this year. After winning the last two Border-Gavaskar series on Kangaroo land, India is entering the ring as a strong contender this time too. It is known that Team India has been winning this trophy continuously since 2016. India has hosted the trophy in 2016/17, 2022/23, Australia in 2018/19, 2020/21. But for the first time since 1992, India will play a five-Test series against Australia. At the same time, the practice match on the Australia tour was reduced to two days. Sunil Gavaskar is upset with BCCI India’s legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has objected to this. He said that he is disappointed to hear the news that the warm-up match against Australia’s Prime Minister’s playing 11 before the series has been reduced to two days. He said that due to this the young players will miss out on important training. On the other hand, this will also create a situation where senior players will not go for practice. But he believes that young players will get more experience from first-class cricket than a two-day practice match. Gavaskar said that the main purpose of the Australia tour is to play cricket and not to relax. Gavaskar also suggested that the BCCI should take steps to extend the practice match to three days and give a chance to young players. “Australia is thirsty for revenge. If India has to score a hat-trick of series wins on Kangaroo soil, then it will have to be cautious. But there is still time to make the warm-up match three days long. Young players should be given a chance in this practice. This will help the young players to defeat the world test champion Australia.”
There may be a fight between Sunil Gavaskar and Jay Shah! Virat Kohli-Rohit Sharma are the reason for this
Former India great Sunil Gavaskar believes Jasprit Bumrah is justified in being rested but Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma should have played the Duleep Trophy. Sunil Gavaskar Jay Shah (Source X) Sunil Gavaskar believes Indian captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli should have played in the first round matches of the Duleep Trophy 2024 before the two-Test series against Bangladesh starting on September 19. The names of many players were included in the four teams announced for the first round of matches starting on September 5, but these two star batsmen have not been included. The reason given is that Kohli and Rohit were given the option to play, but the two senior experienced cricketers decided not to participate in it. Jai Shah had said- “We should not put pressure on players like Rohit and Virat to play in the Duleep Trophy. This will put them at risk of getting injured. If you have noticed, not every international player plays domestic cricket in Australia and England. We should treat the players with respect.” Sunil Gavaskar is not convinced with Jay Shah’s words However, former India great Sunil Gavaskar believes that Jasprit Bumrah is justified to be rested, but Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma should have played. He says that Rohit and Virat are getting older. They need to play as much as possible to stay in form. There are no more ODIs this year and both of them have retired from T20, so they needed preparation in the Duleep Trophy. “The selectors have not picked captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli for the Duleep Trophy, so they will probably go into the Bangladesh Test series without much practice,” Gavaskar wrote in his column for Mid-Day. He further added, “While it is understandable that a player like Jasprit Bumrah needs to be handled with care with his delicate back, batsmen need to bat for some time in the middle.” “Once a player reaches the age of 30-plus in any sport, regular competition will help him maintain the high standards he has set. When there is a long gap the muscle memory weakens to some extent and it is not easy to get back to the earlier high standards.”
“If there was an event for making excuses, we would have won the gold medal every time” – Sunil Gavaskar’s shocking statement
India did not get a single gold medal in the Paris Olympics. Sunil Gavaskar & Prakash Padukone (Pic Source-X) The performance of Indian badminton players was not good in Paris Olympics 2024. After which former veteran badminton player Prakash Padukone expressed a lot of disappointment. He had said that this time all the institutions like the government, SAI and TOPS had done all the work on their part, now the time has come that the players will also have to take their responsibility. After this statement of his, he had to face a lot of criticism. Meanwhile, veteran cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has supported Prakash Padukone. He said, ‘People of this country are experts in making excuses, if there was an event for this, we would have won gold every time. Prakash Padukone has always stayed away from the news. His whole life has been like this. Some people are taking his statement in the wrong way. In fact, these people know him, yet they are saying such things. Sunil Gavaskar came out in support of Prakash Padukone Gavaskar further said, ‘What did he say? He said that players today get all kinds of facilities. They also have the support of the federation and the government. In such a situation, players should take responsibility for their performance. He put his point across well. He did not question anyone. Some people twisted his statement. After this people started criticizing him. He started putting forth his point without knowing anything. He said, ‘If a player does not take responsibility for his performance, then who will? What wrong did he say? People say that the timing was wrong. But it is better to say this at the time when the player is looking for an excuse. He could have said this in the changing room as well, but believe me, public criticism has a huge impact on a player.’

“Trying to convince Hardik Pandya to play Test cricket”- Gavaskar tells India the way to win the WTC trophy
Hardik Pandya has not played any Test match for India since 2018. Ravindra Jadeja and Sunil Gavaskar (Image Credit- Twitter X) Team India has played both the finals of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) so far and has been runner-up in both. The WTC started in 2019 and the first title match was played in 2021, where New Zealand defeated India to win the trophy. After this, the final match of the 2021-2023 World Test Championship was played between India and Australia in 2023. There too, India had to be content with being the runner-up. WTC 2023-25 is going on and looking at the current situation, once again Team India’s reaching the final match seems almost certain. Meanwhile, former Team India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has told the way by which Team India can win the Test series in Australia later this year as well as the WTC title next year. Sunil Gavaskar gave a big statement about Hardik Pandya During an interview with Rev Sports, Sunil Gavaskar was asked, ‘The player who taught Indian cricket fans the meaning of Test cricket, do you think Team India will win in Australia and also win the WTC title?’ To this, Gavaskar said, ‘Yes, of course he can do that. I think efforts should be made to persuade Hardik Pandya to play Test cricket for the next two months. If he bowls 10 overs in a day and bats in his style, it will be impossible to defeat the Indian team and in such a situation, Team India can win in Australia and then win the WTC title as well. Hardik Pandya has played a total of 11 Test matches in his career so far and has scored 532 runs in 18 innings, while taking a total of 17 wickets in 19 innings. Hardik Pandya also has a century in his name in Test cricket. Hardik made his Test debut in 2017, but he has not played any Test match since August 2018.
Virat Kohli will have to improve this thing before IND vs SA Final! Sunil Gavaskar caught a big mistake
Sunil Gavaskar advised Virat Kohli before the IND vs SA final match that he should play his shots with physical balance. Virat Kohli and Sunil Gavaskar (Photo Source: Getty Images) The T20 World Cup final between India and South Africa will be played on Saturday, June 29 at Kensington Oval in Barbados. All eyes will be on Virat Kohli in this match. Virat Kohli is going through bad form Once the drought of runs starts, one has to wait a long time for the rain of fours and sixes again. India’s star player and former captain Virat Kohli is currently going through such a time. Kohli’s batting magic is not working in this year’s T20 World Cup. If we look at Virat Kohli’s contribution in the T20 World Cup 2024, he has scored only 75 runs for the team in seven matches. Kohli could score only 9 runs in the T20 World Cup semi-final match between India and England. Virat Kohli fans will probably fully agree that throughout his career, Kohli has excelled in high-pressure matches. The India vs England match can be called an exception to some extent. But there is a possibility that Kohli’s bat will fail once again in the final match of the World Cup. Sunil Gavaskar gave important advice to Virat Kohli before IND vs SA Final match Sunil Gavaskar advised Virat Kohli before the IND vs SA final match that he should play his shots with physical balance. The Indian legend feels that Kohli starts losing his balance while hitting hard shots. “This is the final and it will be played on a better batting surface. As I keep saying, Kohli just has to play the shots he plays with body balance. When he tries to hit with force, he loses his body balance and doesn’t get the touch of the ball. When he flicked one for a six against England, that’s all he has to do.” ‘Kohli needs to chill’ – Sunil Gavaskar When Kohli tries to move too much, his head shakes a lot and that is not helping him at all. Kohli needs to calm down a bit and focus on playing a long innings in the final.
“I think he will do well in red-ball cricket just like Bumrah” Gavaskar gave this statement about which bowler
Sunil Gavaskar (Image Credit- Twitter X) India’s fast bowler Arshdeep Singh won the Player of the Match award against USA in the T20 World Cup 2024. Playing the third match of the tournament, Arshdeep led the pace attack along with Bumrah. Arshdeep took 4 wickets for 9 runs against Ireland on Wednesday, June 12. After seeing his performance, former India batsman Sunil Gavaskar has praised Arshdeep. Sunil Gavaskar has made a special demand to the BCCI regarding Arshdeep Singh, who was the hero of India’s victory against America. He has talked about giving the fast bowler a chance in red ball cricket. Speaking on Star Sports after USA vs India, Gavaskar said that Arshdeep’s ability to swing the ball both ways was like Jasprit Bumrah. Sunil Gavaskar praised Arshdeep Singh Speaking on Star Sports after the match against USA on Wednesday, Sunil Gavaskar said, “Arshdeep pitches the ball at the right length, targets the stumps for right-handers and away from left-handers. He has the ability to bowl the right length for both right-handed and left-handed batsmen. Against the USA, Arshdeep was not focusing on bowling yorkers but on maintaining the length of that ball. His bowling temperament is fantastic.” During this, Gavaskar compared the fast bowler to Jasprit Bumrah. He said that like Bumrah, Arshdeep can also perform lethally in red ball cricket. The former batsman said, “I think he has the same ability as Bumrah, he will perform well in red-ball cricket. If he can swing the white ball effectively, he can be equally effective with the red ball. The selectors should seriously consider him as an option for the Test team.”
