Won't be too harsh on Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma for Perth ODI flop: Sunil Gavaskar

Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar, speaking to India Today in an exclusive interview, refused to be overly critical of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma after their disappointing ODI return in Perth. He noted that the Perth pitch, arguably the bounciest in Australia, posed challenges for all Indian batters, not just the two stars. Gavaskar highlighted that even regular internationals like Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer struggled, and while KL Rahul might have gone in earlier after early wickets, he praised the players’ effort and experience.
