India used Asia Cup as a platform for experimentation ahead of T20 World Cup: Sunil Gavaskar

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar said that the Indian cricket team used the Asia Cup T20 tournament as a platform for experimentation but that didn't work out and the Rohit Sharma-led side failed to defend their crown.

"They are experimenting to try and get the best set of combinations to go into the T20 World Cup. The Asia Cup has been a platform for experimentation, which hasn't worked," Sunil Gavaskar told India Today consulting editor, Rajdeep Sardesai.
