I will not be amazed in the event that he resembles the Ravi Shastri of 1985, assuming he resembles the Champion of Champions.”
Gavaskar closed down by saying India seemed to be a pleasant unit with the expansion of right-arm pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel while encouraging fans to help the 15-man crew for the competition.
