Sunil Gavaskar Compares Ajinkya Rahane's Leadership to Rahul Dravid's
Sunil Gavaskar praised Ajinkya Rahane's leadership, comparing it to Rahul Dravid's, noting both received less recognition than deserved. Rahane captained India to a notable Border-Gavaskar Trophy win in 2020-21, overcoming early setbacks including a 36-run collapse and player injuries. Gavaskar highlighted Rahane's strong captaincy record of four wins in six matches without losses and emphasized that Indian cricket often credits individual players over captains for team successes.
