Veteran batsman Sunil Gavaskar of his time, termed the current team led by Virat Kohli as India's best Test team so far and said that due to the superb bowling attack, it has become more balanced than the earlier teams. Under Kohli's captaincy, India topped the ICC Test rankings and the team is currently in the first position in the World Test Championship category. This team had defeated Australia on its soil in 2018-19 and it became the first India team to do so. Gavaskar said in a private news channel, "I believe that the current Test team is the best India team ever in terms of balance, in terms of ability, in terms of skill and in terms of emotion. I cannot think of a better India Test team than this. ''

Gavaskar said that the specialty of the present team is its diversified bowling attack which can win matches in any kind of pitch and conditions. This former captain said, "This team has an attack that can win matches on any kind of pitch." It does not need the help of circumstances. Whatever the circumstances, they can win the match on any wicket. In the case of Batsman, the 1980s teams were also similar but to a great extent they did not have the bowlers that Virat has. ''

About India's world-class bowlers, Gavaskar said, "India certainly has a diverse bowling attack today which was very important." It is also said that if you cannot take 20 wickets then you cannot win the match. We bowled to take 20 wickets in Australia. "India has always had good batsmen and spinners but it still has fast bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, which has helped them in recent years. I became the top team in the world.

Gavaskar, who scored 10122 runs in 125 Tests from 1971 to 1987 on behalf of India, said in the case of Batsman that the current India Test team can score more than teams like Australia, which is currently at the top of the ICC Test team rankings. He said, "You also have to score runs. We saw it in England in 2018. We saw this in South African tour in 2017. We took 20 wickets each time but we could not make enough runs. But now I think we have batsmen who can score more runs than the Australian team. ''
