Former Australia captain Aaron Finch has slammed Sunil Gavaskar for over-the-top comments on Josh Hazlewood. Finch's comments came in response to one of Gavaskar's columns.

Travis Head says he was surprised to read comments from Indian legend Sunil Gavaskar who suggested Josh Hazlewood’s side strain injury was “strange”, a “mystery” and that there was more to the story.

“After a humbling loss in the Perth Test, a leading Australian newspaper commented, ‘Bumrah is living inside Marnus Labuschagne’s head.’ It was as much a tribute to Jasprit Bumrah’s fear-inducing skills as it was a castigation of Labuschagne’s inadequacies against the Indian pace spearhead.

Indian cricket great Sunil Gavaskar believes there is something "strange" about Josh Hazlewood pulling out of the second Test with a side strain. Hazlewood was one of the few bright lights in an Australian side that promised a lot but delivered very little in the first Test defeat to India in Perth.

Sunil Gavaskar finds Josh Hazlewood's omission from the pink-ball Test a mystery. Hazlewood was ruled out of the match just days after his controversial comments during the Perth Test press conference.

Hazlewood’s remarks indubitably left pundits and former players alike stunned, with Indian legend Sunil Gavaskar also sharing his two cents on the same.
