Sunil Gavaskar: Fans need to show a ‘little bit more understanding’, back Indian team for Asia Cup, ODI World Cup

The Hindu  

The next couple of months will be challenging for the Indian cricket team as it features in two high-profile events - first the Asia Cup, beginning Wednesday, followed by the ODI World Cup at home. As the pressure mounts on Rohit Sharma’s men, former India captain Sunil Gavaskar believes that the fans need to show a ‘little bit more understanding’ and back the Men in Blue. “I don’t think there’s any other cricket team in the world which is under as much pressure of expectations than the Indian team because every match that the team plays, the fans, the followers - not just in India, but across the world - expect and want India to win,” Gavaskar said on Tuesday, while releasing Amrit Mathur’s new book ‘ Pitchside - My life in Indian cricket’. Gavaskar understands that ‘there will be days when the team will not be able to play up to its potential’, but he also hopes that “if such days come, they happen at the league stage and not at the knockout stage…” Drawing reference to how the entire nation cheered for Neeraj Chopra as he clinched gold in the World Athletics Championships a couple of days ago, Gavaskar said, “As a nation that follows sport, we prayed for Neeraj Chopra to win.
