Gurbaz, known for his swashbuckling approach, had caught Gavaskar&rsquo;s eye with his explosive batting prowess. With <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/cricket/article/aus-vs-wi-2nd-test-mitchell-starc-completes-350-test-wickets-23331734" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Mitchell Starc</a>, Andre Russell, and Sunil Narine expected to secure three of the four overseas slots, Gurbaz faced competition from Jason Roy for the final spot. Gavaskar&rsquo;s endorsement added weight to Gurbaz&rsquo;s bid for inclusion.
&ldquo;I have liked Gurbaz&rsquo;s batting a lot based on whatever I have seen. He is extremely aggressive, and his batting is like a slight copy of MS Dhoni, and that is why I probably like it,&rdquo; said Gavaskar.
