Sunil Gavaskar praised Sarfaraz Khan's bold 150 in India's first Test against New Zealand, highlighting his performance despite prior selection rejections due to his physique. Gavaskar compared Khan to Rishabh Pant, advocating for mental toughness over physical appearance for fitness assessments. Gavaskar questioned whether India's eight-wicket loss in Bengaluru could cause them to worry ahead of a crucial trip to Australia later this year given Rohit Sharma's team's inability to handle bounce.
