The legendary Sunil Gavaskar on Wednesday rebuked former England captain Nasser Hussain for his assertion that Indian cricket teams of the bygone era were easily bullied unlike the current side under Virat Kohli.

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.”
