Gavaskar tears into Kohli over lack of messages remark

TIL Desk Sports/ Virat Kohli should name the player he was expecting a call from after quitting Test captaincy and also specify the kind of message he was waiting for, former India captain Sunil Gavaskar said on Monday.

Kohli, who top scored with 60 in India’s five-wicket defeat at the hands of Pakistan in an Asia Cup match on Sunday, said that barring former skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, none of the former players called him. When Gavaskar was asked about Virat’s grievance, he was very categorical.

“It’s very difficult to say as to whom Virat is referring to. If he would have taken any names, you can then go and ask that person, if you have contacted him or not. What I have heard is that he is talking about only MSD having called him after leaving Test captaincy,” Gavaskar told.
