'Why Has Cheteshwar Pujara Been Made The Scapegoat For Our Batting failures?' Sunil Gavaskar Slams Selectors

By IANS News June 24, 2023 • 13:21 PM View: 1125

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar said that veteran batter Cheteshwar Pujara has been unfairly targeted and dropped for the tour of West Indies after India's batting failure in the WTC Final against Australia.

"Why has he been dropped? Why has he been made the scapegoat for our batting failures. He has been a loyal servant of Indian cricket. A loyal and quiet servant. A loyal and quiet achiever. But because he does not have millions of followers on platforms who will make a noise in case he gets dropped, you drop him.
