The Story in Brief
Sunil Gavaskar has urged Indian cricket to prioritise the team over any individual star, ahead of the two-Test series against Sri Lanka starting in Galle. India must win seven of their remaining nine Tests to stay in contention for the World Test Championship final. Gavaskar wrote in Sportstar that 'Indian cricket should be the priority and not any individual, however big a name he may be.' Head coach Gautam Gambhir has also pushed for spreading recognition beyond a few high-profile players.
The Indian Opinion
Stories about 'star culture' in Indian cricket are as old as the game itself, yet the noise around it rarely changes. Sunil Gavaskar's column is the latest nudge, not a fresh expose. The real test is on the field: winning 7 of 9 Tests to reach the WTC final is a concrete target, not a philosophical one. Watch how the team's batting order rotates in Sri Lanka to judge if talk becomes action.
