Legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar‘s crass comment on Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma left netizens fuming. It all happened after the Indian captain dropped two catches and managed just a run-off five balls against Kings XI Punjab in Dubai on Thursday night. His performance disappointed fans. But they were up in arms for him as, in the commentary box, Gavaskar came up with a crass comment involving Kohli’s actor wife Anushka.
The former cricketer-turned-commentator took a dig at Virat Kohli and said that he only trained against Anushka’s balls during the lockdown. “Inhone lockdown me to bas Anushka ki gendon ki practice ki hai,” said Sunil Gavaskar. The batting legend could have been referring to the viral video of Anushka and Virat playing cricket during the lockdown. But his choice of words left fans fuming.
The remark did not go down well with the RCB skipper’s fans. Many of them took to Twitter urging the BCCI to remove Gavaskar from the commentary panel.

This is not the first time that Anushka has been targeted for Virat’s performance. The Bollywood actress has been blamed whenever Kohli under-performed on the cricket field.
