India's legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has drawn attention to a new trend in cricket. In a column written for Sportstar, he said that nowadays the trend of taking a drink on the boundary line after every over has increased rapidly among fast bowlers. Gavaskar has expressed his displeasure over this practice and has spoken out against it. He has also raised questions on the negligence of match officials towards fast bowlers. Gavaskar has also demanded action against it. According to him, the drinks break has become a joke.

What did Gavaskar say about drinks?

Sunil Gavaskar has always given his opinion on issues related to cricket and players. In his latest column, he has talked about drink breaks during the game. According to him, the trend of fast bowlers taking drinks on the boundary line during the game is very wrong. He has strongly condemned it.

Gavaskar said in his column that in cricket, as soon as a bowler's over is over, he is given a drink to keep him hydrated. The match authority has also turned a blind eye to this. If this is to be done then what is the meaning of a drink break. He also said that batsmen do not have this opportunity, no matter how many runs they score.

Gavaskar raised this demand

According to Sunil Gavaskar, stamina and patience are very important in cricket, no matter which format is being played. Therefore, third umpires and match referees should keep a strict eye on reserve players, so that they cannot come on the field or offer drinks to their teammates on the boundary line between overs. Gavaskar angrily said that the drink break has been made a joke. Therefore, drinks should be given only after every hour and for this, the captain should be required to take permission from the umpire.
