Sarfaraz Khan had performed brilliantly in the Bangalore Test. He played an inning of 150 runs in the second innings. During this time, he had made many tremendous shots, in which the upper cut done by bending at the waist went quite viral. Now India's veteran cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has given a shocking statement regarding his waistline. Gavaskar has said in his column in Sportstar that Sarfaraz's performance with the bat in Bengaluru was even better than his waistline. The Indian veteran said this not to make fun of him but only in praise. Actually, Sarfaraz looks a little fat compared to other Indian players. Therefore questions are being raised on his fitness. Gavaskar has taken a jibe at this.

Gavaskar reprimanded BCCI

Sunil Gavaskar has especially talked about fitness in his column written on Sportstar. He also alleged that batsman Sarfaraz Khan, who played for Mumbai, scored a lot of runs in domestic cricket. Despite this he continued to be ignored. He believes that the team management used to give preference to players with thin waist in international cricket.

Gavaskar said that Sarfaraz Khan's waistline was not according to the standards of management, hence he continued to be ignored. He said in the column that 'Sarfaraz performed better with the bat than with his waist in Bengaluru. Sadly, there are many decision makers in Indian cricket whose views are difficult to understand.

Gavaskar gave the example of Team India's wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant to support Sarfaraz. According to him, Pant also does not have a thin waist. Despite this, he has performed brilliantly in Test cricket. Let us tell you that in Bengaluru, both the batsmen had made a partnership of 177 runs. Gavaskar praised Pant and said that apart from batting, he also does wicketkeeping the whole day, which requires getting up and sitting repeatedly for about 6 hours.

Demand to end yo-yo test

Sunil Gavaskar demanded BCCI to abolish Yo-Yo test. Let us tell you that the fitness of the players of Team India is measured through this test. He said that the Yo-Yo test should be removed and the mental fitness of the players should be assessed. According to him, this is the true indicator of a player's fitness. Gavaskar said that 'if a player can bowl 20 overs a day or can bat the whole day then he is fit for the match. It doesn't matter how thin her waist is.
