top-news

Following India's resounding 4-1 victory against England in the Test series, legendary Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar expressed jubilation and took a dig at England's perceived 'Superiority Complex.' Gavaskar's elation stemmed not just from the series win but also from the manner in which a young Indian team dismantled England's arrogance, epitomized by players like Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum.

In his column for The Sportstar, Gavaskar didn't hold back, highlighting India's comeback from being 0-1 down and commending the exceptional performances of rising stars like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel, Devdutt Padikkal, and Akash Deep. He emphasized how these youngsters made the series memorable, putting England and its Bazball attitude in its place.

Gavaskar's writing exuded joy as he recounted the joy of watching India's victory against an England team that arrived with an air of superiority, an attitude often met with smirks by Indian officials. He also didn't shy away from addressing England's penchant for unnecessary chirping throughout the series, linking it to their relative lack of success in the Indian Premier League (IPL) compared to Australian players.

Comparing the attitudes of Australian and English players towards the IPL, Gavaskar praised the former for embracing the IPL culture and recognizing its immense value. He noted how Australian players, coaches, physios, and support staff actively participate in the IPL, leveraging its opportunities and reaping its rewards, unlike their English counterparts.

Discussing England's players' IPL auction experiences, Gavaskar pointed out the disparity in attitudes, highlighting instances like Sam Curran and Ben Stokes' high bids in the IPL auctions but also noting the underlying tensions and verbal skirmishes that often surface during India-England encounters. He attributed this to England players' discomfort with the IPL auction dynamics and their reluctance to fully immerse themselves in the IPL culture.

In essence, Gavaskar's commentary celebrated India's triumph while shedding light on the contrasting attitudes of Australian and English players towards the IPL, ultimately emphasizing the joy of beating England and the pride in India's young talents who showcased their prowess on the cricketing stage.
