Former Indian captain and incredible batsman Sunil Gavaskar. Slammed the England cricket group for crying about playing within the spin-friendly pitches. Also, in India, whereas they always play on a green best at their home.
Sunil Gavaskar is known for not skipping his words. The former Indian captain slammed England’s double standard for complaining. It is when they come to India. Meanwhile, in their backyard, they continuously play on a greener surface.
“Indian cricketers never complain about playing on the greener surfaces; either they are playing in England or Australia. But, on the contrary, the English team will always moan if given spin-friendly pitches in India,” Sunil Gavaskar said on the ‘Extra Innings’ show at Sony.

Gavaskar’s comments are indicatives towards a segment of former England cricketers. He criticized the Indian pitches after India defeated England. Also, a comprehensively by 3-1 earlier this year.
“In Nottingham, it was a green top; it was the same story at Lord’s. At Headingley, too, we can see a tinge of grass. Did you heard any Indian cricketers complaining about it?” Gavaskar said.
“This Indian cricket group doesn’t fear playing on any surface. This is a huge statement from this Indian cricket group. And for England, if you need to win a series in India. It is for the beginning of producing quality spinners.”
“It is not that they have never won in India, but during those series, they have some world-class spinners. A good batsman or bowler must perform at any surface,” says Gavaskar.
Joe Root
India’s 151-run victory within the second Test. It was securing on a dramatic last day at Lord’s. When England was bullied into submission in a fractious environment. And that is looking like lots of sledding from both teams. There may well be plenty of regard for their respective capacities as batsmen. But there’s clearly no love misplaced between England captain Joe Root and his Indian counterpart, Virat Kohli.
