Star Australian batter Travis Had has said that he was surprised at the comment of Sunil Gavaskar over Josh Hazlewood, saying that his side strain injury was a bit strange and mysterious. He also said that rather then just the injury, there might be more to his benching for the second Test.
Josh has been ruled out of the second Test which is set to begin in Adelaide on December 6, but Sunil has found it strange that nobody has noticed anything being wrong with the former while the post-match conference, where his statements about batters raised some eyebrows in between commentatora.
Head dd not pay attention to the comments from Gavaskar, saying that the latter was looking out for something juicy which was not there to create tension after Australia lost by 295 runs in the first Test.
“I was surprised at Sunny’s comments. They were pretty funny. Dropping ‘Hoff’ (Hazlewood) and throwing a couple of daggers and shooting across the bow, but who cares? It is what it is. Everyone is paid to have an opinion,” said Travis.
“He’s in the entertainment business as a few teams around the world would say. He’s in the commentary team. If that makes it more fun for him, then go for it,” he added.
Hazlewood is going to be a big miss for Australia in the second Test, especially after what he had done in the Pink-ball Test in Adelaide, where India were bowled out for just 36 runs in second innings.
