Sunil Gavaskar, the former India captain, questioned the Indian cricket team's fitness and training methods in a Times of India report published on 2026-08-16T09:52:24.0000000Z, saying a spate of hamstring injuries points to flaws in existing training strategies.

He also questioned limiting bowlers' net sessions in the name of biomechanics and said match fitness should take priority over purely gym-focused conditioning.
