“I believe this team is the best ever Indian Test team in terms of balance, in terms of ability, in terms of skills, in terms of temperament. Can’t think of a better Indian Test team,” Gavaskar said.
"This team has the attack to win on any surface. It doesn't need any help in conditions...they can win on any surface. Batting-wise there were teams in 1980s that were pretty similar. But they didn't have the bowlers that Virat has,” the former captain said at the India Today e-Conclave Inspiration.
“Definitely without a question, India has got such a varied bowling attack today and that is so essential. There is a saying that 'if you don't take 20 wickets you won't win a match'. We have got the bowling to take 20 Australian wickets on 1 run less than what India has scored,” Gavaskar, who was the first batsman to score 10,000 Test runs, said.
Kohli took India to the No. 1 spot in the ICC Test rankings. Also, in 2018-19, they became the first Indian side to win a Test series in Australia.
Currently, India are on top of the ICC World Test Championships (WTC) table.
