Sunil Gavaskar was lambasted by former Australia cricketers for spreading “garbage” and “rubbish” about Josh Hazlewood before India vs Australia 2nd Test.

“After a humbling loss in the Perth Test, a leading Australian newspaper commented, ‘Bumrah is living inside Marnus Labuschagne’s head.’ It was as much a tribute to Jasprit Bumrah’s fear-inducing skills as it was a castigation of Labuschagne’s inadequacies against the Indian pace spearhead.

Indian cricket great Sunil Gavaskar believes there is something "strange" about Josh Hazlewood pulling out of the second Test with a side strain. Hazlewood was one of the few bright lights in an Australian side that promised a lot but delivered very little in the first Test defeat to India in Perth.

Indian cricket legend and Channel 7 commentator Sunil Gavaskar has cast doubt over Australian fast bowler Josh Hazlewood’s injury. Writing a column for Indian news outlet Sportstar, Gavaskar has suggested Hazlewood was dropped for making divisive comments about the team during the first Test in Perth.
