Sunil Gavaskar unhappy with Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid, says no accountability in team

Former veteran cricket Sunil Gavaskar has shown disappointment with India’s current captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid.

He said there is no accountability and questions need to be asked of them after the World Test Championship final loss.

“I expected more from him (Rohit). In India it is different, but when you do well overseas that is really the test. That is where he has been a little disappointing. Even in the T20 format, with all the experience of the IPL, hundreds of matches as captain, with a mix of best IPL players not being able to get to the finals has been disappointing.” Gavaskar told Indian Express.

“They should be asking questions, ‘Why did you field first?’ Okay, it was explained at the toss that it was overcast and all. The question after that should be, ‘You didn’t know about Travis Head’s weakness against the short ball?’ Why was the bouncer employed only when he had scored 80 runs. You know, the moment Head came in to bat, in the commentary box, we had Ricky Ponting saying, ‘Bounce him, bounce him.’ Everyone knew about it but we didn’t try.” he added.

India hasn’t been able to win ICC events and it is becoming quite frustrating for cricket fans as well as former cricketers.
