New Delhi: Veteran batsman Sunil Gavaskar has landed in trouble with a controversial remark while commentating during the IPL match between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Kings XI Punjab (KXIP).
Taking a swipe at RCB captain Virat’s poor batting pergormance during the match on Thursday, Gavaskar dragged in the name of the former’s wife and Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma to comment, “Inhone lockdown me to bas Anushka ki gendon ki practice ki hai.”
This fuelled outrage among twitterati who slammed the veteran for his insensitive remark. Here are some of the reactions:

Doesn’t matter in what context he said this. There was no need to bring Anushka in this. https://t.co/TliTJnBax9
