Sunil Gavaskar criticizes the approach shown in the Duleep Trophy final, focusing on East Zone’s tactics and execution. He says the issue reflects a broader problem in how India’s players learn and adapt in the Test format, asking how a team develops the right skills and understanding during matches.

In his comments, Gavaskar links the final’s events to India’s ongoing struggles in Test cricket. The reports describe him as drawing a direct connection between what he views as deficiencies in domestic performance and what then carries over to international Tests.

Across the coverage provided, the core angle is the same: Gavaskar uses the Duleep Trophy final as an example to illustrate concerns about India’s learning and preparation. While the outlets differ slightly in emphasis and phrasing, all attribute the criticism to his question about how teams improve and translate lessons into Test performance.
