Legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar expressed his concern over India’s
transition from the T20 format to longer formats of the game. Gavaskar
believes that the dominance of T20 cricket has influenced the techniques
and mindset of Indian players, making it challenging for them to adapt to
Test cricket. With the Indian Premier League’s enormous popularity and
financial rewards, players tend to focus more on T20 skills, which may
hamper their development in traditional formats. Gavaskar’s statement
highlights the need for a balanced approach to nurture young talent,
emphasizing the importance of solid techniques and temperament for success
in longer versions of the game.
