Former Indian cricket team captain Sunil Gavaskar on Saturday launched an attack on his critics regarding an interview of Virat Kohli in a way that was never heard before. It all started when the official broadcasters of the IPL showed an interview in which Kohli criticized former players and experts who “sit and talk about the game in the box”. “All those people who talk about strike-rate and that I don’t play spin well, that’s what they’re talking about. For me, it’s about winning games for the team and a The reason you’ve been doing this for 15 years, you’ve done it day in and day out, you’ve won games for your teams, I’m not quite sure if you weren’t in that situation yourself, for me Sitting in the box talking about games, people can talk about their perceptions day in and day out, but the people who do it day in and day out know what’s going on and that’s a big deal to me now. There’s kind of muscle memory,” Kohli said after an IPL match in Ahmedabad.

Sunil Gavaskar referred to the interview before the RCB vs GT match on Saturday and launched a scathing attack as it was being shown repeatedly. The great batsman believes that such comments are a direct insult to the knowledge of former cricketers, who are working as experts. Virat Kohli’s scenes were being shown on split screen during Sunil Gavaskar’s rampage.

“Commentators only raised questions when his strike rate was 118. I’m not too sure. I don’t watch too many matches, so I don’t know what other commentators have said otherwise. But if you come in and open and Then let’s strike 118 when you get out in the 14th or 15th over, I mean, if you want applause for that, it’s a little different,” Gavaskar said on Star Sports.

“But for Star Sports to show someone who is demeaning their own commentators, I’m not sure it’s a very good thing. So I think Star Sports needs to understand that they have shown it many times, every time. “Somebody’s got the message.”

He said that if stars like Kohli don’t care about it then they shouldn’t bother reacting to ‘external noise’.

“All these people talk about, ‘Oh we don’t care about external noise’. Well! Then why are you responding to any external noise or whatever. We all played a little cricket, not a lot of cricket We don’t have an agenda. We speak about what we see, we don’t necessarily have any likes and dislikes, we speak about what’s actually happening.”

The former Indian cricket team captain also criticized the official broadcasters of IPL for repeatedly showing Kohli’s interview.

“I hope Star Sports realizes that when that clip is shown questioning the critics, the critics are your own commentators. For you to show a person who is demeaning your own commentators, I’m not sure It’s a good thing you need to realize you’ve shown it enough times, everyone has got the message, I would be very disappointed if you show it one more time.”
