Gavaskar and Manjrekar Share Conflicting Views on India’s Chances in Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25

The Rohit Sharma-led Indian team must win the upcoming test series 4-0 to secure a third consecutive appearance in the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 final. This result would ensure their spot in the final without needing to rely on other teams’ performances, making the series even more crucial.

Legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has pointed out the immense challenge India faces in trying to sweep Australia 4-0 on their home soil. He noted that no team, not even, the legendary West Indies side of the 80s, has managed such a fast, making it a significant task for India.

Gavaskar expressed confidence in India’s captain, Rohit Sharma, believing he can inspire the team during challenging moments. The former captain also praised Rishabh Pant for his calmness under pressure and encouraged the star wicketkeeper to simply enjoy his time in Australia, focusing on playing freely without stress.

The legendary Indian batter advised the team to move on from their 3-0 loss to New Zealand at home and focus on believing in themselves. He encouraged them to draw inspiration from their recent tours to Australia, where they stunned the cricket world by winning three consecutive test series on Australian soil.
