The legendary Sunil Gavaskar feels Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane repaid the trust that was shown in them, adding it is easy to get excited by young talents but the team should continue showing faith in its senior players as long as they are “not getting out badly.”

Under-fire duo of Pujara and Rahane came good with the bat, scoring half-centuries in India’s second innings of the second Test. “The team have backed them because of the experience and what they have done in the past. They had the belief that they will come good and they did,” Gavaskar said on Star Sports.
