Hamilton: Indian batting legend Sunil Gavaskar on Monday slammed the England team for its embarrassingly early exit from the World Cup, calling it an overrated side in not just cricket but football also.
Gavaskar was far from being impressed after England folded for 260 runs in 48.3 overs.
“I think it would have been easier playing England in the quarters. Look at their form. England have won only one game, they are a nothing side. Every time there is a World Cup football, everyone speaks how they will do this and that but at the end of the day, they are just an overrated team both in cricket and football,” Gavaskar told NDTV.
Meanwhile, Cricket-mad Bangladesh erupted in joyous celebration Monday after the national team dumped England out of the World Cup, with fans hailing the dramatic victory as the country’s greatest sporting triumph.
Impromptu victory processions broke out across the country, with some of the loudest celebrations taking place at Dhaka University. (PTI)
