Former veteran cricketer Sunil Gavaskar gave a befitting reply to the unfair criticism made about Indian captain Rohit Sharma. On Tuesday, he said that more mental strength is important in cricket than physical size. He also taunted that lean boys are for modeling, not for cricket.
Gavaskar said- Mental strength is necessary in cricket more than fitness
Sunil Gavaskar said in a conversation with ‘India Today’,
“I have always said that if you just want a lean boys, then you should go to the modeling competition and choose your model from there. Cricket is not related to this. “

Gavaskar insisted that cricket is a game based on performance, not on physical texture. Giving the example of Mumbai’s young batsman Sarfaraz Khan, he said that he too faced body shaming (physical criticism), but it did not affect his game.
Questions were also raised on Sarfaraz Khan, but the performance gave the answer
Gavaskar said Sarfaraz Khan was ignored by the selectors for a long time due to his weight, but when he got a chance, he scored 150 runs in Test cricket and scored several half -centuries several times. He asked question,
“If a player is scoring runs, then what problem can anyone have with his body size?”
‘Cricket needs patience and mental strength’
Gavaskar also clarified that the most important thing in cricket is the ability to last long. They said,
“I don’t think body-shaped cricket has anything to do. The most important thing is how strong your mental strength is and can you play for a long time? If you bat well, last long and score runs, then it matters. “
