Legendary Sunil Gavaskar attacked senior players on Monday Rohit Sharma And Virat Kohli for letting the team down and blamed the Indian top team for Australia’s loss in the Boxing Day Test. Having set a target of 340 on the final day of the fourth Test, the Indian batters except Yashasvi Jaiswal (84), failed again, losing the match by 184 runs and losing 1–2 in the five-match series. When asked what the future holds for Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in 2025, Gavaskar gave a detailed answer.

“It all depends on the breeders. Expected deposits have not been received. It is the higher level that has to contribute, if the higher level is not contributing, why blame the lower level.

“The seniors haven’t really made the contribution that they should have made, all they had to do was perform today and survive to fight another day in Sydney,” Gavaskar told India Today.

“…it’s just that the higher order hasn’t made any contribution and that’s the reason why India finds itself in this position.”

While Gavaskar praised Jaiswal for his hard hitting, the batting great was again unimpressed Rishabh PantThe choice of strike that opened the floodgates for Australia.

Combining at 33 for 3, Jaiswal and Pant seemed to settle down, taking India to 121 in the afternoon session before Pant’s rash knock sent the team back.

“Yes, around tea time, when Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal were battling in the afternoon session, it definitely looked like India could get a draw because it was a matter of batting for another hour without losing a wicket and Australia would have it did. then gave up,” Gavaskar said.

“The whole idea was to try and accommodate the compulsory overs, and if India had just lost maybe four wickets during the compulsory overs, then Australia, after a couple of overs, would have asked to shake hands, but that didn’t happen.” .
