Sunil Gavaskar on Eden pitch row: Blame India's batting, not the wicket for Test defeat

On this special report, Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar weighs in on the controversy surrounding the Eden Gardens pitch after India's Test match loss to South Africa. Gavaskar defends the wicket, aligning with Indian Head Coach Gautam Gambhir, and argues that the focus should be on the Indian team's batting performance rather than the pitch conditions, highlighting South African captain Temba Bavuma's resilient innings as an example to follow. When asked about the pitch, Gavaskar stated, 'I don't think it was a pitch where you get all out for 90 runs like the Indian team did.' He firmly places the responsibility on the batters' temperament and technique, suggesting they failed to apply themselves correctly during the chase.
