I guess Sunil Gavaskar is entitled to his opinion, but it's a truly vile one.
He was a genuinely great player, but as a commentator, he's dreadful.

One of the best I have ever seen! Well done Louis. Deeply troubling - It’s time to regulate social media properly.
I was amazed by how HStikkytokky’s mum enabled his behaviour at the end.

I’m an Indian. I love this country. And I’m absolutely ashamed of what BCCI and this government have done to my favourite sport.
Let’s talk facts, not feelings.
Jay Shah; son of Home Minister Amit Shah, widely considered the 2nd most powerful man in India; left the BCCI Secretary post the moment he became ICC Chairman.
A man directly connected to the ruling government now runs the WORLD governing body of cricket. And nobody in Indian media dares say it out loud: this is the single biggest conflict of interest in the history of sport.
Under his watch:
➡️ Mustafizur Rahman was dumped from KKR; not for bad performance, but because India-Bangladesh relations soured. A player’s LIVELIHOOD destroyed for political signalling.
➡️ India refused to play Pakistan in Pakistan. ICC bent. Hybrid model forced. Then Bangladesh dared ask for the SAME treatment for T20 WC matches in India, and suddenly the ICC threatened THEM with warnings. One rule for India. Zero rules for everyone else.
➡️ India’s players refused to shake hands with Pakistan at the Asia Cup 2025. The ICC; the same body that bans players for “bringing the game into disrepute”, looked the other way.
Senior journalist Sharda Ugra called BCCI under Jay Shah synonymous with BJP’s increasing control over cricket. The Caravan called him “The Home Minister of the ICC.”
DW, Al Jazeera, The Telegraph, The Wire; every credible global outlet is saying what our own press is scared to print.
Cricket once brought India and Pakistan to the table. It once made enemies shake hands at the boundary. The Wire said it best; BCCI has “rendered cricket useless for the diplomatic purposes it once served.”
From Kapil Dev lifting a World Cup with zero political baggage… to THIS.
A sport reduced to a BJP foreign policy instrument.
A World Cup reduced to a BCCI boardroom negotiation.
The ICC reduced to, in Sharda Ugra’s words: “the Dubai office of the BCCI.”
I love India. I love cricket. That’s exactly WHY this makes me furious.
We didn’t deserve this, and neither did cricket.
Fix the board. Save the sport. 🏏

@MichaelVaughan Crap cricket - just seen 6 sixes in 8 mins. Boring, meaningless tripe. Any danger of anyone calling it out for what it is?!

@ESPNcricinfo Surprise surprise. What did you expect?!
The Hundred is about money and not decency. You cant have it both ways.

@Cricket_Ali There should be serious questions answered by the @ICC - blatant disregard for the spirit of competition by @narendramodi and the @BCCI
A pathetic and childish approach to governance!

@BoothCricket Jacob Bethell “must now be given the long run in the No 3 slot that should have been his all along”
How about - “must not go to the IPL and must play county cricket, batting up the order to experience some meaningful red ball cricket?”

@MichaelVaughan I wish there was the same fervent criticism of sub continent featherbeds that result in 2000 runs for 8 wickets during a test!

This pitch is a joke .. This is selling the game short .. The players / Broadcasters and more importantly the fans .. 26 wickets in 98 overs !!!!! #Ashes ..
