Sunil Gavaskar gives crucial insights on Team India Captain ahead of 1st Test against England

Renowned Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar expressed his opinion on the star India skipper Rohit Sharma. He believes that if Rohit Sharma maintains his current good form, he can give India an advantageous beginning in the upcoming Test series against England. Following a two-Test series in South Africa, India is scheduled to host England for five red-ball matches as part of the ongoing Indian Cricket Board World Test Championship cycle. The experienced opener, Rohit, showcased a return to top form during the recently concluded series against Afghanistan.

The Indian captain secured a record-breaking fifth century, propelling India to victory in the intense double Super Over encounter against the formidable Asian opponents. As India gears up for the upcoming high-stakes five-match Test series, Gavaskar advocates for Rohit Sharma to lead the team with distinction.

Reflecting on Rohit’s outstanding performance in Chennai against England, the batting maestro expressed confidence in the veteran captain’s ability to support the middle-order batsmen of the Indian squad.

India will definitely get a good start: Sunil Gavaskar

Sunil Gavaskar in an interview with Star Sports said, “Rohit, the batter, the manner in which he batted in the Chennai Test, he hit a hundred, and it was a very good hundred. He showed how to bat on spin-friendly pitches. If he continues to bat that way, India will definitely get a good start. And it can make No.3 and No. 4 batters’ lives easily.”
