Sunil Gavaskar: Virat Kohli's current Indian team is really special

The Indian cricket team is having a dream run. On Sunday, they sealed another ODI series win over Australia, as it was their sixth consecutive ODI series win. Following Sunday's win, India have now once again reached at the top of the ICC ODI Team Rankings, dethroning South Africa, while Australia remain at the third spot. Nevertheless, following this win, experts praised the Indian side for their consistent good game play. Meanwhile, former Indian skipper Sunil Gavaskar too heaped praise on the side as well as skipper Virat Kohli as he felt that the current side has it all to be termed as one of the greatest in the history.

Well, comparisons are not quite correct but this is a very, very good team. I think by the time this team finishes, I think it is going to go down as the greatest Indian one-day team ever. Because the balance is so good. The batting is right down to number 8 or 9. You have bowlers who can bowl, whatever, whenever they are asked and therefore, I think you take all aspects into consideration and you know that this is a really, really special team, captained by a very special player, said Gavaskar to NDTV Sports.

Speaking on Australia's poor run of late, he said, This Australian team is an experienced team. Probably not the same kind of batting line-up as Hayden, Gilchrist or Ponting, Michael Clarke, Mike Hussey were there but I think this is a very good Australian team. The Australians never give up and I think, what they are missing at the moment is one more batsman who can make a difference and they are missing one more bowler. But as far as India is concerned, they are not choosing the team that takes the field against them. Harbhajan Singh requests Michael Clarke to come out of retirement

They are just playing against them. And as Virat Kohli said, they are going to be ruthless and they are going to be relentless, they are going to be pursuing victory in every game and the fact that in all three games they were put under pressure, but to come through that pressure and go on to win easily is the hallmark of a great team, a champion team, he added.
