IND vs OFF: India lost against Australia due to rain interruption and after this former Indian cricket Sunil Gavaskar (Sunil Gavaskar) Got furious. The former cricketer raised questions on the Duckworth Lewis System (DLS). The match played between the two teams in Perth on Sunday was disrupted due to rain and the match had to be stopped midway. After this, when the match started again, it was decided to have 26-26 overs. Batting first, India put 136 on the score board after losing 9 wickets in 26 overs, but under the Duckworth-Lewis rule, Australia got the target of 131 runs to win. Due to the brilliant innings of Australian captain Mitchell Marsh, the Kangaroos achieved the target at the loss of three wickets in 21.1 overs.
What should Gavaskar say about Duckworth-Lewis rule?
After India’s defeat against Australia, Sunil Gavaskar said that I do not think most people would understand this rule, but it has been in practice for a long time and has also become prevalent. He said that an Indian player had brought the VJD rule, which I thought was much better at that time and it would also prove to be very beneficial for both the teams. Gavaskar said that BCCI can play the game under VJD rules in domestic cricket. Also, this is something that can be taken into consideration. Also, when there is any interruption in the match due to rain and then when the match starts again, then both the teams feel that things have been started in a fair manner.
There was a lot of expectation from Rohit-Virat
Sunil Gavaskar has expressed hope that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will perform well in the next two ODI matches. Rohit and Virat have come on the field to play an international cricket match after about 223 days, but both of them did not make any significant impact in any match. In this match, Rohit Sharma was out after scoring 8 runs in 14 balls and Virat Kohli was out for zero after playing 8 balls. Gavaskar said that the Indian team is fantastic and has made a name for itself by winning the Champions Trophy about 5-6 months ago. He said that there will be no surprise if Rohit and Virat score well in the next two-three matches. He is coming on the field to play an international match after a long time, so the more matches and practice he does, the more benefit he will get from it. Once these two players start scoring runs, Team India’s score will easily cross 300 or 320.
