The Indian team, of late, has enjoyed impeccable form, making victories look mere cakewalks. After decimating Sri Lanka 9-0 across all formats of the game, the Men in Blue continued their form back at home too. The Virat Kohli-led team registered consecutive series victories against their Oceania rivals- Australia and New Zealand.

The Blue Army dominated across formats, and are arguably the best all-rounded side at the moment. And on Monday, Virat’s men secured an innings-and-239-run win over Sri Lanka in the Nagpur Test to take a 1-0 lead in the ongoing bilateral series. With the win, they equalled their previous record of the biggest victory. And former Indian skipper Sunil Gavaskar has hailed the dominant Indian side and called it the best that the country has ever produced.

The 68-year-old veteran was the backbone of the national side in the 1970s and 1980s. He has played under several captains and led for many years before taking charge of the captaincy reigns himself. Kohli on Sunday also overtook Gavaskar’s record. With 12 centuries as India’s captain, he surpassed the little master for most tons as Indian skipper.

Gavaskar optimistic of South Africa tour

Speaking to NDTV, an upbeat Gavaskar was quoted as saying, “India is firing on all cylinders. It’s batting is looking good. The bowling has got a sharp to edge to it and the fielding is outstanding. I believe India has the potential to win the series for the first time in South Africa. The crucial thing they are peaking at the right time. So I am hopeful that this time India will put one across the Proteas.”

He further added, “It is difficult to compare, depends on the opposition, playing conditions. But this is one which is right up there because of the balance they have. This team may be the best India has ever produced.”
