The southpaw is expected to return to action in the 2024 edition of the Indian Premier League for Delhi Capitals, subject to his full recovery.
"There is a slight difference when you play Test cricket when compared to T20I and ODI cricket. The difference is in the ball,” Gavaskar said.
Sunil Gavaskar has recently asked why we Indians, though electrified by Glenn Maxwell’s fastest World Cup century ~ off 40 balls in Delhi the other day against the Netherlands ~ should refrain from any comparison with Kapil Dev’s magic 175 not out in 1983 at Tunbridge Wells against Zimbabwe, which too had turned things sensationally around.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to lay the foundation stone of the International Cricket Stadium in Uttar Pradesh's Varanasi on Saturday afternoon.
Gavaskar has also suggested that due to the slow nature of wickets in the UAE, leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal can be the match-winner for RCB this season.
The IPL 2020 will be played for 53 days from September 19 to November 10 across three venues in the UAE — Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and Dubai.
Ganguly, meanwhile, tested negative for COVID-19, a source close to the former India captain confirmed on Saturday.
"In the past wickets were not so easy to bat on"
Sunil Gavaskar further slammed Nasser Hussain, saying what does he know about the Indian team before Sourav Ganguly was appointed captain in the year 2000.
