Sunil Gavaskar slams England cricket team for crying over Indian pitches, says they only 'moan and moan'

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar, who is now a commentator has been on fire since the start of the 3rd Test match between India and England at Headingley in Leeds.

While his heated debate with former England skipper Nasser Hussain surely grabbed the attention of all, it was also him slamming the England team crying over Indian pitches is that got everyone talking.

Gavaskar slammed the double standard of the England side for complaining about the pitch when they come to India.

"Indian cricketers never complain about playing on the greener surfaces; either they are playing in England or Australia. But, on the contrary, the English team will always moan if given spin-friendly pitches in India," Gavaskar said on Sony Sports Network.

The comments came on the incidents that took place during the Three Lions' visit to India and how a section of former England cricketers had criticized the Indian pitches.

"In Nottingham, it was a green top; it was the same story at Lord’s. At Headingley, too, we can see a tinge of grass. Did you hear any Indian cricketers complaining about it?

"This Indian cricket team doesn’t fear playing on any surface. This is a big statement from this Indian cricket team. And for England, if you want to win a series in India, start producing quality spinners.

"It is not that they have never won in India, but during those series, they have some world-class spinners. A good batsman or bowler must perform at any surface," says Gavaskar.

See how Twitter reacted:

Omg, Gavaskar.

"India go to England, get grass tops, and they play on that. England come to India and MOURN MOURN MOURN MOURN" (In a mocking, crying voice).
