Gavaskar Slams England as 'Paper Tigers' After Ashes Humiliation

  • Sunil Gavaskar criticized Ben Stokes' England after their 1-4 Ashes loss in Australia, despite one Test victory.
  • England conceded the Ashes in just 11 days, with reports of players engaging in binge drinking and frequenting casinos.
  • Gavaskar mocked the English media for overhyping their team, stating their performances are often a let-down.
  • He noted that 'Bazball's' surprise factor wore off once teams realized England struggled when the ball deviated.
  • Gavaskar questioned the team's commitment, suggesting 'fearless cricket' became 'couldn't-care-less cricket' due to central contracts and T20 leagues.

Why It Matters: Gavaskar ruthlessly dissected England's Ashes failure, labeling them 'paper tigers' and criticizing their approach.
