Team India is currently playing against England for the third time in a five-match test series against England in Indore. Team India is currently in the driver’s seat in the ongoing test match against England.
However, before the start of the match, all the players from team India wore black armbands as a mark of respect to the departed soul of one of the former test players of team India, Dattajirao Gaekwad, who passed away at 95 years of age.
It was a kind gesture from Rohit Sharma and company to one of the former cricketers of India, who represented India in the longest format of the game on 11 occasions. This gesture from Team India received a lot of appreciation from the cricketing world.
However, one of the greatest batsmen in Indian cricket was not happy with the gesture shown by Team India. The Indian legend said that team India should have worn black armbands from day one of the third test match.
While doing the commentary on the on-going test match between the two sides, Gavaskar said, “Better late than never. They should’ve done it on Day 1, but better late than never.”
Gavaskar further stated that “he was captain of the Indian team in a five-match series. He( Dattajirao Gaekwad) captained four out of the five matches, and the other one was captained by Pankaj Roy.’

However, at the start of the third day of the test match between the two sides, team India received another huge blow as team India’s trump card, Ravichandran Ashwin, withdrew his name from the third test with immediate effect due to a medical emergency in his family. However, he was replaced by talented young batter Devdutt Padikkal for the reminder of the play.
