Ganguly grills Dravid over 'falling averages', coach's response triggers Gavaskar: 'You're the 'dadas' in India but...'

Hindustan Times  

Team India had yet another forgettable final in the World Test Championship; this time, the side faced a 209-run defeat to Australia at The Oval. Sunil Gavaskar wasn't too happy with Rahul Dravid's explanation over 'falling averages' of India batters Following the disappointing loss, India's head coach Rahul Dravid was grilled by former cricketers and Dravid's ex-teammates Sourav Ganguly and Harbhajan Singh, as the trio touched upon various factors that contributed to the defeat. Dravid, however, explained that the competitive nature of the World Test Championship, and result-oriented pitches have impacted the averages of players around the world, and not just from India. When the anchor spoke about Dravid's explanation over the falling averages and asked Gavaskar on his opinion, the former India captain turned livid, insisting that Dravid should focus on his own team.
