๐Ÿ “Very, very disappointing”: Gavaskar Criticises India, Singles Out Jaiswal After England Defeat

Legendary opener Sunil Gavaskar left no room for euphemism on live TV, branding Team India’s performance against England as “very, very disappointing”. While he reserved some praise elsewhere, his sharpest critique was saved for rising star Yashasvi Jaiswal.


๐Ÿ” India's Performance Under Scrutiny

Following a disappointing loss to England, Gavaskar targeted the team’s overall composure and shot discipline:

  • He lamented risky shot selections and missed early opportunities.

  • He emphasised the need for discipline in the early overs, hoping India “didn’t do anything stupid” when facing pressure (insidesport.in).


๐ŸŽฏ Gavaskar’s Disappointment in Jaiswal

The former captain singled out Jaiswal's dismissal as emblematic of the team’s mistakes:

  • In Australia earlier, Gavaskar had already criticised a poor shot that led to Jaiswal’s dismissal at the Gabba, calling it “very, very disappointing” .

  • This repeated underperformance under pressure has drawn strong rebukes from Gavaskar, calling into question Jaiswal’s temperament at the crease.


⚖️ The Broader Context

  • Despite Jaiswal’s explosive form—712 runs in the England Tests earlier this year at an average nearing 90—Gavaskar stresses consistency over flair (sportskeeda.com).

  • The selectors and pundits are calling for greater maturity and wicket protection from all batters, especially openers.


⏭️ What Lies Ahead?

This is more than a harsh critique—it’s a wake-up call:

  • Gavaskar suggests a refocus on shot selection in early overs and pressure situations.

  • Team management may seek to reinforce discipline and mental resilience in upcoming games.

  • All eyes will be on the next England Test—will India rally or succumb again to unforced errors?


ABC News 4 you Take:
Gavaskar’s scathing comments echo a growing sentiment that India’s gifted players aren’t living up to their potential under pressure. Jaiswal may be a future star, but with the India-England series in full swing, technique alone won’t suffice—it’s time for maturity to match talent.
