Gavaskar Urges India To Move Beyond 'transition' Tag After Record Win Over Afghanistan
Sunil Gavaskar: India great Sunil Gavaskar believes it is time to stop viewing the Indian Test side as a team in transition and instead judge it by the standards expected at the highest level, following India's crushing 300-run innings victory over Afghanistan in the one-off Test at New Chandigarh.
The win marked India's largest innings victory in Test cricket, highlighting the depth of the squad led by captain Shubman Gill. Debutant spinner Manav Suthar played a key role, and the bowling attack dominated Afghanistan throughout both innings.
After the victory, Gavaskar noted that it was time to change the conversation around the team. He suggested shifting away from seeing the team as transitioning and focusing more on performance and accountability. "I think we should stop describing this team as being in transition and instead pay attention to the standards expected in Test cricket. Every team faces retirements and changes in personnel, but the focus must stay on performance," Gavaskar told JioStar.
