Gavaskar Calls for Bold XI Change in T20 Final

Sunil Gavaskar proposes bold changes to India's T20 World Cup final XI, suggesting Rinku Singh and Kuldeep Yadav over struggling players. Read more!

As India gears up for the T20 World Cup final against New Zealand, legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has advocated for a surprising change to the team's playing XI. Gavaskar suggested dropping opener Abhishek Sharma, who has had a difficult tournament, averaging just 12.71 runs. His concerns stem from Abhishek's repeated dismissals in similar fashion, indicating a lack of adaptation.

To bolster the lineup, Gavaskar proposed including Rinku Singh and potentially promoting Ishan Kishan to open alongside Sanju Samson. He also recommended considering Kuldeep Yadav for the bowling attack, especially given Varun Chakravarthy's struggles. Gavaskar believes Kuldeep's ability to spin the ball could be effective at the Narendra Modi Stadium, especially if the boundaries are large.
