Gavaskar and Hussain had an on-air debate over a column. “But when you say previous generations were bullied, I don’t think so. I’d be very upset if my generation was being talked about as being bullied. If you have a look at the record, in 1971 we won, that was my first tour in England. [In] 1974, we had internal problems so we lost 3-0. [In] 1979, we lost 1-0, it could have been 1-1 if we chased down 438 at the Oval [India were stranded at 429 for 8]. [In] 1982, we again lost 1-0. In 1986 we won 2-0. So, I don’t think my generation were bullied.”
