Gavaskar angry with Rohit-Virat taking frequent breaks, said – now there is no rest till 2023 World Cup

New Delhi. For the last one year, many senior players of Team India, especially the batsmen, took frequent breaks citing workload management. This includes players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Jaspreet Bumrah. However, former Indian opener Sunil Gavaskar does not like the players repeatedly taking breaks in the name of workload management. He believes that no player should be given rest before the ODI World Cup to be held in India next year. At least the senior batsmen of the team should now play together till the World Cup.

Let us tell you that immediately after the T20 World Cup, Team India went on a tour of New Zealand. Here, after 3 T20s, the same number of ODIs are being played between the two countries. Senior players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul are not playing in this series. While Hardik Pandya captained the team in T20, the team is commanded by Shikhar Dhawan in the ODI series.

The next ODI World Cup is to be held in India in 2023. There is less than a year left in this tournament. In such a situation, Gavaskar believes that there should not be too much tinkering with the team. Because even now if there are changes in the team, then the results will not be good. According to InsideSports, Gavaskar said, there is less than a year left in the ODI World Cup. In such a situation, now the team management should not give rest to the senior batsmen and it should be tried that the batsmen play together as much as possible. So that mutual understanding and coordination between them can be better.

Gavaskar further said, ‘For a good partnership between the batsmen in limited overs cricket, it is necessary that there is better coordination and mutual understanding between them. This will be possible only when the batsmen play together as much as possible.

Shastri has also raised questions on the break
Earlier, former Team India coach Ravi Shastri also raised questions on the break of Indian players. He had said that I do not believe in taking a break from cricket. I want to understand my team and players and then control the team accordingly. I honestly want to know why do you need so many breaks?

India has suffered losses in T20 World Cup
Let us tell you that the concept of this break has become more applicable in Indian cricket since last one year. However, India had to bear the brunt of this strategy in the T20 World Cup. The opening pair of KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma played very little together in the last one year. Due to sometimes injury and sometimes break, there could not be such coordination between them, which is necessary in a tournament like T20 World Cup. In the entire tournament, this opening pair could not make a partnership of 50 runs even once. As a result, India got eliminated after losing in the semi-finals.

In the name of break for senior players, youngsters got a lot of opportunities in T20. But, this experiment did not work. Now Gavaskar wants that the Indian team should not repeat this mistake for the ODI World Cup. India last won an ICC tournament in 2013. At the same time, in 2011, under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, he became the world champion of ODIs.
