Sunil Gavaskar said the selection committee needs to take a call as he spoke about Virat Kohli's underwhelming performance. What I’ve been emphasising over the last 8–10 days is that we need to consider who will be available for the 2027 World Test Championship final," Gavaskar told India Today. 'Virat has technical fault' Sunil Gavaskar also pointed out a major technical flaw in Virat Kohli's game.
