Sunil Gavaskar said that the Indian cricketers knew about the one-off final before WTC cycle began, hence demands for a best of three finale does not make sense.
Former India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar slammed current captain Rohit Sharma for suggestion a best of three finals for the ICC World Test Championship and questioned whether players would raise a similar demand in the IPL as well.
“No. This has been decided for a long time, you know even before you enter that first match of the cycle that the final is going to be just one-off. So, you have to be prepared mentally,” Gavaskar said on India Today.
“Just like you prepare for the IPL, you don’t say best of three. Everybody can have a bad day, or a couple of days, but before the first ball of the cycle you know what it is. So, you can’t be asking for a best of three. Tomorrow, you may say best of five,” he further added.
