What did Sunil Gavaskar say about the India vs Bharat controversy?
Sunil Gavaskar says that Bharat is the original name, and it feels good to say and hear it. However, he believes that this should be on a more official level. He mentioned that the government and the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) should make the name Bharat more official.
