Sunil Gavaskar identifies THIS key area of concern for winning next two World Cups

With two World Cups lined up in the next two years, India batting legend Sunil Gavaskar has pointed out that the lack of all-rounders in the current Indian team is hampering India's chances to win a coveted world title.

Gavaskar in his column for Mid-Day wrote that the Indian teams that won the World Cups were full of all-rounders which is key in limited-overs cricket.

The little master further wrote that the 2007 and 2011 teams had batsmen who could bowl and bowlers who were no bunnies with the bat.

The batting legend stressed the need of having at least two all-rounders in the team to improve India's chances in World T20 in 2022 and the ODI World Cup in 2023.
