Indian legendary batsman Sunil Gavaskar recokned that India may go for some alterations in the second Test match against England at the same venue starting from February 13. However, the batsman rooted for not making too many changes in the squad.
“What we heard at the press conference, there could be possible just one change. I can’t see too many changes happening because ‘too many changes’ is a sign of panic. And there is no need to panic,” Gavaskar told Star Sport
India may have lost the series opener by a big margin but the youngsters once again impressed with their sheer brilliance. The likes of Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant and Washington Sundar continued their form with the bat, ensuring the possibility of a strong comeback.
Gavaskar was also very confident that the one change in the squad will not come on the expense of youngster Washington Sundar.
“This is a very good team. This team was outplayed and it can happen. Yes, we talked about how the toss was important because you get to bat on good pitches which are much better than on the fourth and the fifth day. So, there could be just one change but Washington Sundar is not going to be that change.”
Gavaskar threw light on Sundar’s bowling flaws and also suggested that he can get over it with time and some help from his teammate Ravichandran Ashwin. The young all-rounder went wicketless from 26 overs in the first innings and was given just one over to bowl in the second.
