Champions Trophy, Sunil Gavaskar on Pakistan Cricket Team: Even a day after being out of the Champions Trophy, Pakistan’s cricket team is being severely criticized and the great cricketer Sunil Gavaskar said that he will also have to struggle to defeat the second class Indian team. India, which reached the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup, defeated the defending champion Pakistan by six wickets in the Champions Trophy in Dubai on Sunday and dominated their arch rival.

He said, “Look at the Inzamam ul Haq. If you look at his ‘stance’, you will not advise a batsman to do so. But his way of batting was good so that he made up for any technical shortage. . ”
Gavaskar also said that Pakistan is struggling to prepare the best player despite the domestic tournament of Super League (PSL) and white ball. The former Indian captain said, “How has India prepared so many young stars in white ball cricket? It is because of IPL. Indian players have gone to play for Ranji Trophy and eventually India. Pakistan cricket should analyze it. . They need to find out why they now do not have the ‘bench’ which was before. “
