Sunil Gavaskar Lauds India’s Fighting Spirit, Sees Promising Future Ahead

India clinched a dramatic win in the final Test against England, ending the series in a 2-2 stalemate. Speaking about the intense and closely contested tour, former Indian opener Sunil Gavaskar offered his thoughts in a discussion with India Today. He remarked:

“It is never easy to win overseas. You can win comfortably at home. But overseas, even with a drawn series, you can say the future is very good. If Rahul is still around for another half dozen years, along with Jaiswal, as openers and with the promising Sai Sudharsan at 3, and the captain Gill at 4, it is a very good batting lineup.”

“And then the bowling as well, Siraj has got at least another five years ahead of him and Prasidh Krishna also took wickets. The more he plays with Siraj, he will bowl in a way where he does not give away those boundaries. He has also gotten better and better as the series has gone on,” he added.
