The legend of the Indian cricket team, Sunil Gavaskar, couldn't keep calm after Siraj took the wicket of Travis Head after a fiery staredown.

Both Virat Kohli and Sunil Gavaskar were quite happy after Mohammed Siraj took the wicket of Aaron Finch in the first ODI against Australia. After Hardik Pandya won the toss, he decided to bowl first. Siraj had a stare-down with Head after the Australia opener cracked the 4th ball of the over through the covers for a boundary, but the Indian fast bowler and the dead man ended up having the last laugh as Head walked down the wicket but played on for 5 off 10 balls. Siraj brought out the "SIUUU" in Kohli from slips, and Gavaskar and Kumble both were quite impressed with the way Siraj took the wicket of Travis Head. Read More...

Sunil Gavaskar Advises Rohit Sharma to Play Longer Innings, Gambhir Defends Captain’s Approach

Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has urged India captain Rohit Sharma to focus on building longer innings rather than settling for quick 30–40 run knocks. Gavaskar believes that Sharma, known for his fearless batting, could have an even greater impact if he bats for extended periods. He stated that Sharma’s aggressive approach in the first 10 overs of ODIs often carries a high risk of failure and suggested that the skipper should aim to bat for at least 25–30 overs.

“If he bats for 25 overs, India will likely be at 180–200 with only a couple of wickets down. That sets the stage for a massive total of 350 or more,” Gavaskar remarked. He added that Sharma’s immense talent and range of shots make him capable of dominating any opposition if he tempers his aggression with discretion.

However, Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir defended Sharma’s approach, emphasizing the importance of impact over statistics. “This is an approach Rohit has followed for the last two years. It has brought success, even if not consistently,” Gambhir said, adding that the team prioritizes match-winning contributions.

Sharma himself has acknowledged his high-risk style, which he adopted to boost India’s starts. While it has yielded results, balancing aggression with stability remains a key challenge for the Indian skipper.

Gavaskar Responds to Hussain and Atherton Over India’s Advantage in Champions Trophy

Sunil Gavaskar, former India captain, has responded strongly to criticism from former England captains Nasser Hussain and Michael Atherton regarding India’s perceived advantage in the Champions Trophy 2025. The discussion started when Hussain and Atherton highlighted India's edge in the tournament, sparking a debate that has since involved other international players, including Australia’s Pat Cummins and South Africa’s Rassie van der Dussen.

Following England’s elimination from the Champions Trophy after defeats to Australia and Afghanistan, Gavaskar advised Hussain and Atherton to "focus on their own team" rather than continuously pointing fingers at India’s success. Speaking to India Today, Gavaskar criticized the English duo, stating, "Instead of constantly blaming India, they should look at why their team failed to qualify. Their players seem mentally fragile and not focused on results."

This remark from Gavaskar follows a lighthearted comment by former India opener Wasim Jaffer, who joked that India should have changed hotels in Dubai to avoid fueling complaints about their supposed advantage. The criticism of India’s advantage in the Champions Trophy has sparked intense reactions in the Indian cricket community, with many questioning why other teams are not addressing their own shortcomings.

Gavaskar’s response underscores the growing frustration in India regarding external criticism and the need for teams to focus on improving their own performances rather than blaming external factors.

"Garden Mein Ghoomne Wala": Sunil Gavaskar Blasts Lakshya Sen's Olympics 2024 Meltdown

The Paris Olympics 2024 has been a bittersweet experience for the Indian sports fans. After the high of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, where India returned with a record seven medals, the expectation was that at the Paris Olympics, the haul would be bigger. However, following a string of narrow misses and some unlucky incidents (like the Vinesh Phogat disqualification), India won six medals. Badminton was one sport where India has fared well in the last three editions.

Starting from the 2012 Olympics, Indian badminton stars have returned with at least one medal. However, this time there were no medals. The star duo of Satwik Sairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty could not enter the semi-finals. Singles player Lakshya Sen became the first Indian male shuttler to enter the Olympic semi-final but lost crucial matches despite being in a strong situation.

Amid such displays, badminton legend Prakash Padukone said that It was time for the badminton stars to bring home good results as there was enough support from the government and other stakeholders.

The comment was criticised by many. Former Indian cricket team captain Sunil Gavaskar, however, has supported Prakash Padukone and critisiced Lakshya Sen's mental block.

"As far back as 2017/18, Prakash, who I unfortunately meet rarely, had told me about this kid, Lakshya Sen. He had taken him under his wing and was his guide and mentor. He would have watched Lakshya's progress step by step. As he came to the cusp of an Olympic medal, Prakash was by the courtside along with the hard-working and indefatigable Vimal Kumar to see the fulfillment of not just Lakshya's dream but also that of the entire community of Indian badminton lovers," Gavaskar wrote in a column for Sportstar.

"To then see a 20-17 and 7-0 lead being squandered off in the semifinal (vs Viktor Axelsen) and then lose the bronze medal match (vs Lee Zee Jia) after winning the first game comfortably must have been gut-wrenching indeed. He, Vimal Kumar, the BAI, and the government's TOPS had done everything possible, but when it came to the crunch, Lakshya was, in the famous words of the Indian cricket team captain (Rohit Sharma), 'garden mein ghoomne wala.'"

Gavsakar felt that Lakshya had lost his "thought and concentration".

"For those who watched both the semifinal and the bronze medal matches, it did appear that Lakshya had lost his trend of thought and concentration in the way he looked at his racquet as he sipped from his water bottle in between points or at the changeovers," Gavaskar wrote.

"I could be completely wrong, but on TV, it looked like a blank expression, and that's usually a sign that the mind has wandered. Concentration and focus are things that no coach or trainer can ever teach. It can be developed over the years by the athlete by observing other champions and having an inner resolve, but there's no specific program for it. Yes, mind trainers are around, but they can only do so much and not more. It's got to be within the athlete."

AB de Villiers' Candid Advice Amid Kohli-Gavaskar Controversy: 'Don't Say A Word'

Virat Kohli of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) faced significant criticism for his performance during the first half of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season. With RCB losing 7 of their first 8 games, Kohli’s strike rate became a major talking point. Even cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar criticized Kohli for his perceived lack of intent, prompting a response from the RCB star. Now, AB de Villiers has weighed in, expressing his dismay at the harsh criticism aimed at Kohli.

During a conversation on Jio Cinema, De Villiers shared his thoughts on the situation, recalling his own experiences of playing with and against Kohli. He emphasized that criticism often brings out the best in Kohli and advised teammates to avoid provoking him.

“I thought it was really unfair for a hero and role model like Virat to face so much criticism. But knowing him, I was certain that criticism would only fuel his determination. I used to tell my teammates, ‘do not say a word to Virat on the pitch,’ because if you do, he will respond with a big century,” De Villiers told Hindustan Times.

“Perhaps the criticism was a blessing in disguise, as it motivates him greatly,” he added.

Discussing Kohli’s role in the T20 World Cup, De Villiers countered the popular opinion, suggesting that Kohli should not open the innings with Rohit Sharma but should remain at the №3 spot.

“I believe Virat is most impactful at number three. He acts like the captain of the batting unit, maintaining calm and composure. Though Virat enjoys opening, I feel it’s risky to ask him to take on the game in the early overs. I prefer him to bat between overs 4 and 16–17, where he is unmatched,” the former South African captain stated.

De Villiers concluded by saying, “In my ideal team, he would bat at number three. His experience and understanding of the game make him most effective in that position.”

KL Rahul reacts midway as he is stunned by Gavaskar's 'top 10 century in Indian history' shoutout

Earning praise from the legendary Sunil Gavaskar remains the ultimate dream for every cricketer, and on Wednesday it was KL Rahul's turn to tick it off his bucket list. Sure enough, this wasn't the first time Rahul received a compliment from the former captain of Team India, but the magnitude of Gavaskar's praise will sure make it special. Rahul scored his 8th Test century, which is arguably the greatest of his career, as his knock of 101 propelled India to 245 against South Africa at the SuperSport Park in Centurion.

As expected, Rahul was showered with praise, but Gavaskar's took the cake. Gavaskar said during the commentary, "I've been watching cricket for the last 50 years, but I can surely say that this century by Rahul is in the Top 10 centuries scored by Indians in Test cricket.” After stumps, during the post-day press conference, Rahul was asked about his reaction to this once-in-a-lifetime compliment by Sunny G. The reporter asked, "As Mr. Gavaskar said, this is probably one of the 10 best Tests by any batter in any condition for India." but before he could finish his sentence, an excited KL Rahul let out an exclamatory "WOW" before elaborating his point of view.

KL said, "Firstly, I'm very humbled that he's made that comment. It's a pretty huge compliment to get. Batting in the middle order, what I've realized is that you can't really plan your innings all that much when you walk in. There is a situation in front of you. The game tells you how you need to play and what you need to do at that time and in that moment.”
