You can count on Sunil Gavaskar to be the first to criticize the unfair practices of the "Old Powers," a reference to Australia and England, two cricketing nations. The renowned cricket player has never shied away from speaking up when Indian cricket or cricketers are unfairly criticized. When touring India, ex-cricketers from Australia and England and their media frequently take on the role of the "12th man." In India, pitches are frequently the main topic of conversation. I think that's where Gavaskar sees the issue.
