Gavaskar says didn’t blame Anushka Sharma for Virat Kohli mistakes
Gavaskar told the media that he and Aakash Chopra were talking of how almost no practice had been the reason for the rustiness of Rohit Sharma, MS Dhoni, Kohli in the first match.
Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar on Friday clarified that his reference to Indian captain Virat Kohli’s wife Anushka Sharma during commentary was not to blame her for Kohli’s performance.
During Thursday’s Indian Premier League match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kings XI Punjab, Gavaskar said he was talking about the lack of opportunities to train during the lockdown. Then he referred to a popular video that went viral during the lockdown on social media, in which Kohli can be seen batting in the driveway of his house with Anushka Sharma bowling to him.
Gavaskar told the media that he and Aakash Chopra were talking of how almost no practice had been the reason for the rustiness of Rohit Sharma, MS Dhoni, Kohli in the first match. He added that he was not blaming Anushka Sharma for it or was being sexist but was only stating what he has seen in the viral video. People took his comment in another way, Gavaskar said.
After Gavaskar’s Thursday comment, Anushka Sharma shared a post on her official Instagram handle. She said the cricket legend like Gavaskar does not suits him to make such a distasteful comment. She then would love to see his explanation for why he thought of making such a sweeping statement on a wife accusing her for the lacunae in her husband’s game.
Meanwhile, Anushka Sharma has been in headlines in the past too, mostly for the posts she and Virat Kohli have shared. Most recently, they shared the news of expecting their first child on social media.
However, there have been instances where Anushka has been snared into issues related to Kohli’s poor performances, and she has earlier too objected to being dragged into cricketing affairs.
