Gavaskar not happy with team India’s treatment of Ashwin

TIL Desk Sports/ Former India skipper Sunil Gavaskar on Friday criticised the Indian team management for their treatment of ace off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who has been in and out of the Test playing XI in the last two years. According to the legendary Indian batsman, Ashwin should always be certainty whenever India play Test cricket.

“Ashwin should be a certainty. The fact that he has not been made to feel the comfort level is the reason why we are seeing him struggle a little bit,” Gavaskar told official broadcasters after the end of first session on Day 3 of the ongoing Test between India and South Africa.

“He has also got to feel he has got the confidence of the people around him. When you don’t have the confidence of people around you, when you keep getting sidelined then you try a little too hard,” he added.
