Sunil Gavaskar said India’s series win over New Zealand is only an appetiser ahead of the T20 World Cup, praising the team’s depth, confidence and preparation while backing Abhishek Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav to play key roles.
India batter Tilak Varma has undergone surgery and will be sidelined for three to four weeks, according to HCA officials. He is expected to miss the home T20I series against New Zealand but should be fit for the T20 World Cup starting February 7.
