Sunil Gavaskar has made fun of Pakistan’s cricket team. Sunil Gavaskar comment came after scoring a minor score of 127/9 while batting first in Dubai for the Pakistan cricket team. In response, the Indian team achieved the target in the 16th over thanks to captain Suryakumar Yadav’s unbeaten 47 runs and Abhishek Sharma (31) and Tilak Verma (31). Gavaskar has said that India may get a competition with Sri Lanka and Afghanistan in the Asia Cup. She praised Sri Lanka’s bowling and batting fiercely.
Popatwadi team is the idiom to be said for the weak team
Sunil Gavaskar said on Sony Sports Network, ‘I did not think that this is Pakistan’s team. I found this team more Popatwadi team than Pakistan. In the colloquial language of Mumbai cricket, the Popatwadi team is the idiom used for a weak team. In Mumbai cricket, the Poptwadi team was prevalent by many old veterans like Idiom Dilip Sardesai. It is said that he called many weak bowling attacks as ‘Popatwadi’ attack.
‘I don’t think Pakistan will be able to challenge much’
Gavaskar further said, ‘I have been watching the Pakistan cricket team for decades. One of my oldest cricket memories is, running from Churchgate station to Wankhede Stadium to watch the game of great player Hanif Mohammed. This is not the same team. I do not think they will be able to challenge other teams.
