Gavaskar Urges Stronger Bowling and Role Flexibility in India’s T20I Team
Former cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has called for changes in India's T20I team strategy following their drawn series against the West Indies. He criticized the use of eight batters, arguing it weakens the bowling attack, and emphasized the need for at least four specialist bowlers. Gavaskar highlighted Hardik Pandya as irreplaceable and suggested focusing on players who can fulfill different roles, citing Naman Dhir's all-round contributions as an example. The series ended 2-2 after the final match was washed out.
