India showed that they do not need big names to win: Gavaskar

Sunil Gavaskar believes that India's young players have proved that they do not need Virat, Bumrah and Shami to win Test series. The Indian team is currently playing without big players in the series against England. In his absence, the young players of India have performed brilliantly. Kohli is out of the series due to personal reasons and Shami recently underwent surgery in London.

Apart from Kohli and Shami, Lokesh Rahul got injured after the initial test. Bumrah was rested in the fourth test. Gavaskar said that to win India does not need big names but big hearts. It is no coincidence that India has won the series. We also had success with young players in Australia. Big name players cannot stop India from winning. You need a big heart and if you have it, you will succeed. If your dream is to play for India then there is enough talent in the country and it can help you win.

Praising the youth, Gavaskar said that this is an exciting time for India. Jaiswal, Sarfaraz and Dhruv Jurel love Test cricket. Jaiswal struggled in South Africa but he has the technique and a complete repertoire of shots. Sarfaraz is a street-smart cricketer and Dhruv Jurel is quiet but has knowledge of every game.
