Didn't say anything sexist': Sunil Gavaskar
By MYBRANDBOOK
Social media seems a deadly weapon in this digital world. Just after the social media backlash, former Indian cricketer and commentator Sunil Gavaskar said his comments on-air on Anushka Sharma, Bollywood actor and wife of India captain Virat Kohli, were misinterpreted. Gavaskar, on the official broadcast of Star Sports on Friday, said “my conscience is clear... I didn’t blame anyone or say anything sexist.”
Gavaskar further said neither he blamed Virat Kohli’s actor-wife Anushka Sharma for India captain’s failure nor he made any sexist remarks .Gavaskar said India captain is keen to improve and he knows that he can do so only by practicing more and more. He then added that during the lockdown Kohli faced only Anushka’s bowling and it is showing that it did not help much.
Kohli had a bad day in office on Thursday when he led Royal Challengers Bangalore against Kings XI Punjab. He dropped two catches of rival skipper KL Rahul and managed only a run off five balls in RCB’s chase. Reacting to it, Anushka also issued a statement on her Instagram page and said that Gavaskar’s message was “distasteful”.
“Firstly, I would like to say, where am I blaming her, I’m not blaming her. I am only saying that the video showed she was bowling to Virat. Virat has only played that much bowling in this lockdown period,” Gavaskar told India Today channel.“It is tennis ball fun game that people have to pass time during the lockdown, so that’s all, so where am I blaming her for Virat’s failures.”
Gavaskar also rubbished allegations on social media that he made a “sexist comment”.
