Matthew Hayden: Two matches of Border Gavaskar Trophy have been played between India and Australia. The Indian team won the first match in Perth while the Australian team won the second match played in Adelaide. So now this series of 5 test matches is equal to 1-1. The third test match of the series will start from December 14 in Brisbane. Earlier, former Australian player Matthew Hayden had made a big mistake by taking the name of India’s star wicketkeeper and batsman KL Rahul. After this he also apologized to KL. Let us know what is the whole matter?
Gavaskar advocated Rohit to open
Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar and former Australian batsman Matthew Hayden were discussing India’s defeat in the Adelaide Test. Gavaskar advocated Rohit to open in the next test match. Here let us tell you that Rahul had opened in Adelaide and it was a complete flop. While Rohit came to bat at number 6. And he too could not perform anything special. Gavaskar asked Rohit to open and Rahul to come in the middle order. However, Hayden did not agree with Gavaskar’s words. He advised Rahul to open. But here he made a mistake in taking Rahul’s name.
What did Hayden say?
Here let us tell you that Rohit Sharma was not present in the first test match due to the birth of his child. In his place, KL Rahul batted well while opening. Then Rohit joined the team from the second test. But still Rahul opened. Hayden said about Rahul, I want to see him in the opening only. But here he took the name of Rahul Dravid by mistake. He said in Badhu, “I will not make any changes in the team at this stage.” I know you want a better result with the top three. But from what I saw in Perth, Rahul Dravid was there.
Gavaskar made fun of Hayden’s mistake
After this, Sunil Gavaskar immediately caught Hayden’s mistake. And jokingly he said, ‘I would have liked it if it was Rahul Dravid, as you said, but he is KL Rahul.’ After this the former Australian player apologized to Rahul. He said, ‘Sorry…KL Rahul. Sorry, I am thinking about the time when he (Rahul Dravid) was dominating in Adelaide. And he (Rahul Dravid) beat us (Australia) in the 2003-04 series. It was a nightmare, which I am still living.
