“Puri tarah se dhula diya”, Sunil Gavaskar on Pakistan hamulating 228-run defeating against India’s in Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 clash.

Sunil Gavaskar has offered his perspective on India’s dominant performance against Pakistan in the Super Four clash of the Asia Cup 2023, which took place in Colombo on Monday. In a resounding victory, the Men in Blue dismantled Pakistan by a staggering margin of 228 runs, marking their most substantial win against Pakistan in terms of margin.

The iconic Indian batsman pointed out the importance for Pakistan to swiftly move past this humbling defeat. Gavaskar stressed that Babar Azam’s squad should now shift their focus towards their upcoming fixture against Sri Lanka, aiming to put the disappointment behind them.

Sunil Gavaskar said “Forget about the biggest victory, puri tarah se dhula diya (we just hammered them), just as you wash clothes in a dhobi ghat. If you are a good team, you don’t let the result of the previous match affect you. If they think too much about it, they won’t be able to concentrate on the next match. I don’t expect Pakistan to make such a mistake.”

Gavaskar also highlighted the significant contributions of KL Rahul and Jasprit Bumrah, both of whom appeared to be in excellent form and fitness. Their performances are undoubtedly a considerable positive for the Indian cricket team as they continue their campaign in the Asia Cup 2023.

“KL Rahul not only scored a century but also kept wickets,” he added. “He made a big statement amid all the talk about his fitness. He proved that he is completely fit. Jasprit Bumrah, too, looked in great rhythm. His run-up looked good, and he swung the ball both ways. Even a world-class batter like Babar Azam was unable to play him.”
