Australia's left-handed batting sensation, Travis Head, was taken aback by Sunil Gavaskar's recent comments about Josh Hazlewood's injury. He brushed off the former Indian legend's remarks as an attempt to create unnecessary drama. Hazlewood is out for the second Test against India in Adelaide due to a side strain, but Gavaskar has been questioning the injury's legitimacy, hinting that there could be more going on than what’s being revealed.

In his Sportstar column, Gavaskar mentioned, “Hazlewood didn’t show any signs of being injured during his media chat in Perth. The vibe in the Australian team seems a bit tense, especially with some ex-players pushing for major changes. Hazlewood's comments on the third day have definitely stirred things up in their locker room.”

Gavaskar pointed out that Hazlewood seemed perfectly fine during his post-match chat in Perth, which got the cricket legend wondering if there might be some underlying issues in the Australian team.

Head chimed in, suggesting that Gavaskar might just be trying to stir the pot a bit, which isn’t unusual in the commentary scene.

“He’s in the entertainment game, as some teams like to say. He’s part of the commentary crew, so if that adds to the excitement for him, then why not?” Head said.

Head pointed out that Gavaskar's comments could be seen as an attempt to stir up some drama or controversy, which is pretty typical in the commentary scene.

“He’s in the entertainment game, as some teams around the globe might put it. He’s part of the commentary crew. If that adds to his enjoyment, then why not?” Head continued.

Hazlewood's injury is a blow for Australia.

Hazlewood missing the second Test is definitely a setback for Australia, especially after his standout performance in the pink-ball Test in Adelaide last series, where he helped crush India for just 36 runs in their second innings.

He’s been a vital player for the Australian bowling lineup lately and was a key contributor in the first Test, taking four wickets in the first innings.
