Gavaskar Blasts English Media, Unleashes Fiery 'Moaners And Crybabies' Rant

Legendary Indian cricket team captain Sunil Gavaskar unleashed a fiery rant on the English media for constantly criticising the Indian pitches ahead of a Test series. While doing commentary on Day 1 of the second Test match between India and Bangladesh in Kanpur, Gavaskar used the example of Ravichandran Ashwin and labelled a section of the English media 'moaners' and 'crybabies'.

Gavaskar cited Ashwin's gritty century against Bangladesh in the first Test and said that although the English media had declared the Chepauk pitch unplayable, Ashwin showed that he could play quite well on the surface.

"He (Ashwin) actually said in the press conference that you can get a hundred if you apply yourself. So he walked the talk when the moaners were going on saying 'you can't bat here'. Saying and doing all the things like crybabies, typical English media stuff, where they only talk about Indian pitches," he said.
