Bollywood Diva Anushka Sharma has slammed Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar for his shameful comments about her.

Gavaskar’s remarks were during an IPL match between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Kings XI Punjab (KXIP).

The former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar criticized Virat Kohli over his poor performance against Kings XI Punjab after the RCB captain dropped two important catches and also got out much early in the game.

In the commentary box, Gavaskar said, “Ab joh lockdown tha to sirf Anushka ki bowling ki practice ki unhone, wo video dekhi hai , usse to kuch nahi hona hai”

“During the recent lockdown he only practiced to Anushka’s bowling, I saw a video. But that is not going to be enough.”

Reacting to Gavaskar’s comment, Anushka Sharma posted on Instagram:

“Mr. Gavaskar your message is distasteful is a fact but I would love for you to explain why you thought of making such a sweeping statement on a wife accusing her for her husband’s game? I am sure over the years you have respected the private lives of every cricketer while commentating on the game. ”

Anushka has seen similar comments in the past as well, she often gets dragged in Virat’s cricket career.

The comments by the former Indian cricketer also broke a war on twitter.

Angry fans of Anushka Sharma demanded Board of Cricket Control Indian (BCCI) to look into the matter.

Passing distasteful remarks about Anushka Sharma while sitting in a commentary box should not be overlooked. You can be legend Sunil Gavaskar, but you have no right to drag the families of players in these things that too in such a bizarre manner. Hope @BCCI is looking into it.
