Sunil Gavaskar Criticizes Shamar Joseph After Incident with Arshdeep Singh

Sunil Gavaskar, the former captain of India, voiced his criticism of West Indies bowler Shamar Joseph after a delivery hit Indian player Arshdeep Singh on the shoulder during the fourth T20I in Hyderabad. This incident occurred as India chased a target set by the West Indies, who scored 247 runs.

Despite being in pain, Arshdeep continued to bat but was eventually retired hurt after scoring five runs. Gavaskar questioned Joseph's decision to target the batter instead of the stumps, suggesting that it was unnecessary to aim at an injured player. The match concluded with India losing by 24 runs, leveling the five-match series.

Gavaskar also highlighted the need for India's batting unit to take more responsibility, especially after a promising start. He emphasized that the team must improve its approach in chasing large totals, particularly in favorable conditions, as they prepare for the series decider in Bengaluru.
