Former cricket captain Sunil Gavaskar has criticized the media for not covering the ongoing Test matches between India and New Zealand, and instead hyping up the upcoming series against Australia. He also advised wicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik to focus on the present and not get ahead of himself, while expressing confidence in India's ability to beat Australia despite recent struggles. This comes as a relief for fans who were concerned about the team's performance after a defeat in the first Test against New Zealand.
