Sunil Gavaskar hit back on the workload management issue: ‘Do you think that Jawans complains about cold?’ , Cricket news
Legendary India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has returned to the idea of “workload management”, citing the example of the Indian Army jawan who patrol borders under harsh conditions.Gavaskar told India today, “If you are going to bow down to the people talking about the workload, then you will never have your best players on the field.”“You’ve found them to take them to a situation, where you say, ‘Hello, you are playing for your country, and when you are playing for your country, you have to forget your muscle pain and pain. This is at the border.”“Do you think the young men complain about cold or situations? They are out of there, are ready to give their lives for the country. You have to give your best to the nation.
“Don’t worry about minor pain and pain. What did Rishabh Pant show you? He came out to bat with a fracture. You want to see this kind of feeling from your team.“This is expected. Don’t come back from small injuries. This is an honor that you have been given to represent India, among 140 million people. You are incredibly lucky, and you should not take that lightly.“And we have seen this attitude in Sirj-the five Test match, bowling the non-stop,” he said.
