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.

Read about what Sunil Gavaskar had to say on why he felt India would end up conquering Australia in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy, only on.

Hazlewood, who was Australia's most successful bowler in Perth, has been sidelined from the day-night Adelaide Test due to an injury. Scott Boland will replace Hazlewood for the Test.

With India going into the Adelaide Pink Ball Test match in the Border Gavaskar trophy with a 1-0 lead in the five-Test series and with reports of a rift in the Australian dressing room, Indian legend and former Indian opener Sunil Gavaskar understands that there is a panic in the Australian ranks and has called pacer Josh Hazelwood’s injury as a mystery ahead of the second Test starting December 6.
