"What message did he want? Encouragement? But then he is done with captaincy, so why would he need encouragement? That chapter (captaincy) is already closed," Gavaskar added.
Things just got worse for Virat as he could manage to score 76 runs from six innings across formats on English soil, which included the rescheduled fifth Test, two ODIs, and as many T20s.
Former India Cricketer Sunil Gavaskar slammed seniors players for taking frequent breaks in International series.
In the Edgbaston Test, where India lost by seven wickets, Kohli scored 11 and 20 runs.
Sunil Gavaskar has given his take on Rishabh Pant getting out in an almost similar way while going for the big-shot wife outside the off-stump.
As soon as Hetmyer came to bat against CSK, Gavaskar said that since Hetmyer's wife has delivered, he now wants to see if Hetmyer himself can.
Rohit Sharma rightly mentioned that he could be an all-format player for India. So now it's up to him to work that little bit extra, get his fitness going, get a little tighter as far as the technique is concerned and prove Rohit right," Gavaskar said
During Sunday's IPL match, Sunil Gavaskar asked his fellow commentator Alan Wilkins to request the British government to give back the Kohinoor diamond to India.
Gavaskar said all he meant to do was give an honest opinion when the question was asked of him.
Warne, since making his debut in 1992, played 145 Tests for Australia, picking up 708 wickets with his leg-spin. In his 194 ODI appearances, he snared 293 scalps.
Gavaskar feels reports of a rift between Kohli and Rohit over captaincy are just speculations.
In Rohit's absence, KL Rahul was Kohli's deputy in South Africa.
India, led by Ajinkya Rahane, defeated Australia 2-1 in a closely-fought four Test rubber winning in Melbourne and then breaching fortress Gabba in Brisbane last year after Australia had outplayed the visitors in the Day-Night Test at Adelaide.
After a string of poor performances, the under-fire duo of Pujara and Rahane came good with the bat, scoring half-centuries in India’s second innings of the second Test.
In 108 ODIs, the legendary batsman scored 3092 runs with an unbeaten 103 as his highest score. Gavaskar has one ODI century and 27 half-centuries.
The 30-year-old English Test skipper has now 1563 runs in the year, which is a run more than Tendulkar's run-haul of 1562 in 2010.
Days after Kohli stepped down as Team India's T20I captain, BCCI chief Ganguly revealed that the board had requested the former skipper to not relinquish the captaincy in the shortest format.
With Rohit missing the Test series in South Africa due to a hamstring injury and earlier speculation over Kohli missing the ODI series, it has given rise to speculation that all is not well in the team.
Iyer became the 302nd player to make his Test debut for the national team and before the toss against New Zealand.
