New Delhi. After the defeat of the Indian team, everyone from cricket fans to experts are very angry. India’s greatest batsman Sunil Gavaskar was so frustrated and angry that he even said that he did not know anything. They don’t know cricket. They are just there to speak on TV. Gavaskar’s target was Indian captain Rohit Sharma and the team management.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma had targeted former cricketers and journalists a day earlier. He had said, ‘Those who are sitting inside with mike, laptop or pen will not decide what we have to do. We know what is right and what is wrong… I am the father of two children. I know how to take decisions.
Sunil Gavaskar and Irfan Pathan tried to find out the reason for India’s defeat in the post match show of Star Sports. Both cited several reasons for the defeat, including lack of domestic matches and practice matches. Gavaskar was very angry during this time. When he was reminded that you advised him to play practice matches before the series. On this Gavaskar said, ‘Hey, we don’t know anything. We don’t know cricket. We are just there to speak on TV. Don’t listen to us. Let it go over your head.
Let us clarify here that when Rohit Sharma targeted the experts, he did not take anyone’s name. Gavaskar also did not take anyone’s name. But Gavaskar’s statement came just a day after Rohit’s interview. Therefore, it is natural to see these two together.
Then Kohli replied to Gavaskar
It is also true that Gavaskar has often been giving advice to Team India during commentary. Many times he also criticizes Team India. Last year too, Gavaskar had criticized Kohli’s slow innings in the IPL. After this Kohli had said that no one sitting outside can tell how to bat.
