Sydney: Former India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has slammed the Indian team’s preparation for the Border Gavaskar Trophy with a sarcastic comment after the conclusion of the Sydney Test on Sunday. India lost the series after a decade and Australia booked a berth in the World Test Championship (Final) with a victory at SCG. Australia will now face South Africa in the title decider at the Lord’s from June 11 to June 15. With the defeat, India missed out on a chance to make it into the WTC final for the third consecutive time.
Ahead of the Test series against Australia, the Men in Blue refused to play any practice games citing workload management as the reason behind it.
"Who are we? We don't know cricket. We just speak just for the sake of TV and get money, don't listen to us, we're nothing. Listen from one ear, remove from another,” Gavaskar stated on Star Sports.
honestly speaking, if the trophy was named after me i'd have been pissed in a similar way
