Don’t see much changes in the squad after just one loss; Sunil Gavaskar

After being on the receiving end at the first Test match between India and England, Sunil Gavaskar rooted for making less changes in the Indian squad.

“What we heard at the press conference, there could be possible just one change. I can’t see too many changes happening because ‘too many changes’ is a sign of panic. And there is no need to panic,” Gavaskar told Star Sport

India may have lost the series opener by a big margin but the youngsters once again impressed with their sheer brilliance. The likes of Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant and Washington Sundar continued their form with the bat, ensuring the possibility of a strong comeback.

Gavaskar was also very confident that the one change in the squad will not come on the expense of youngster Washington Sundar.

“This is a very good team. This team was outplayed and it can happen. Yes, we talked about how the toss was important because you get to bat on good pitches which are much better than on the fourth and the fifth day. So, there could be just one change but Washington Sundar is not going to be that change.”

Gavaskar threw light on Sundar’s bowling flaws and also suggested that he can get over it with time and some help from his teammate Ravichandran Ashwin. The young all-rounder went wicketless from 26 overs in the first innings and was given just one over to bowl in the second.

The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.

Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.

 

The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
