Legendary Australian cricketer Sir Don Bradman's unparalleled records in cricket have often placed him on a pedestal as one of the greatest batters in the sport's history. With a remarkable Test average of 99.94 and numerous records under his belt, Bradman's legacy remains unmatched. However, former India cricketer Atul Wassan has stirred debate by challenging Bradman's status as a cricketing icon. Wassan argues that Bradman's greatness is limited due to his exclusive playing experience in only two countries, England and Australia, throughout his illustrious career. Speaking to a news channel, Wassan emphasized, "I don’t think Don Bradman is great. He played only in two countries of similar conditions... If he had played in the sub-continental conditions in Sri Lanka, Pakistan, or India, only then a fair analysis could have been drawn."
Despite Bradman's exceptional records, Wassan's critique underscores the significance of varied playing conditions in assessing a player's prowess. Wassan draws comparisons between Bradman and other cricketing legends like Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar, implying that Bradman's accomplishments may not stand as tall when scrutinized against players who faced diverse challenges across different cricketing landscapes.
