England Stars “Can’t Stomach” Indian Players’ Fees: Sunil Gavaskar’s No Holds Barred Bashing On Sledging

The Indian cricket team has recently achieved a four Test series victory over England, which was a 4-1 success. Rohit Sharma marshalled a young Indian cricket team with absolute control as the side consolidated its place on top of the World Test Championship standings. The loss was a first for the Bazaball era in England Test cricket. England’s ferocious style of Test cricket under coach and captain Ben Stokes generated much hype. They won the first Test too but later could not stop India.

Former Indian cricket team captain Sunil Gavaskar remarked on the sledging Incidents between the 2 teams throughout the series.

The England and Indian players engage in frequent verbal clashes when playing each other, which is also the reason for it. Not a lot of England players are picked in the IPL, mainly because they can be withdrawn by their Board anytime for a preparation camp or something, which leaves the franchises in a lurch,” Sunil Gavaskar wrote in a column for Sportstar.

“Some of them can’t stomach the fees for which some of the Indian players are bought and compare their achievements at the international level when the IPL auction dynamics can be so volatile and hard to explain or even understand. So you see more lip in the India-England encounters than in any other India match. The satisfaction of defeating England is always greater due to this fact. “

Sunil Gavaskar also gave his take on England’s Bazball.

” When Ben Stokes’ team came to India, there was a buzz around it as they had started to play a brand of aggressive batting that the British media dubbed’Bazball’. This was because the new coach Brendon McCullum’ s nickname is ‘Baz’. He advised the players to approach each game with an optimistic outlook and also to persist no matter what happens. The batting became extremely aggressive, with players being urged to hit sixes & fours using a dot ball, which was the least preferred option. Stokes aimed to make his players perform like rock stars, regardless of the phrase used, and noted the public and media were in a state of euphoria as England began to win games.

The scoreboard rattled along and the batting was certainly exciting to watch, without a doubt. In Pakistan, they reached over 500 runs in a single day and won all Test matches there.

“However, all this batting frenzy was on good batting pitches against opposition attacks that weren’t quite threatening.”
