Under-fire duo of Pujara and Rahane came good with the bat, scoring half-centuries in India’s second innings of the second Test. “The team have backed them because of the experience and what they have done in the past. They had the belief that they will come good and they did,” Gavaskar said on Star Sports.
“Sometimes we can be a little bit hard on some of our senior players because you have these exciting young players waiting in the wings. But as long as these seniors are playing well and not getting out badly, then we should show faith in them.”
