Gavaskar Criticizes Cricket's Concussion Substitute Rule

Gavaskar Criticizes Cricket's Concussion Substitute Rule

Sunil Gavaskar, a famous cricket player, thinks a rule allowing players to be substituted if they get hit on the head isn't fair.

He says it's like helping out players who can't handle fast, short balls.

Gavaskar believes that if a batter can't handle a short ball they should try another sport, like tennis or golf.

He also wants the rules to be changed so that players can be replaced if they get injured.

He previously criticized the Indian team for using the concussion rule in a game.

He thinks a new group of people should look at these injuries to be fair.
