Sunil Gavaskar goes against IPL authority to support Rishabh Pant on 'F' word controversy ...Middle East

Sunil Gavaskar thinks in a different way. The legendary figure of Indian cricket, who called Rishabh Pant ‘stupid’ during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, backs the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain in the middle of controversy.

Traditionally, it is the losing team captain who joins the match-after ceremony to speak out first, followed by the winning team captain and the Player of the match. Gavaskar’s suggestion is to call the losing team captain later to hold the mic.

Gavaskar asks IPL to change some rules

“It might be a better idea to speak to the ‘player of the match’ from the winning team and give the captain of the losing team a little time to splash some water on his face and regain his composure, and then come over for an interview. As it is, there will be a bit of time for the presentation party to be ready, so giving the captain of the team that has lost a few more minutes could well ensure that such things won’t happen,” he added.

Gavaskar tries to explain Pant as a player

“Rishabh Pant is one of the most cheerful guys in the game who loves playing the sport in his own unique way. And the fact that even he lost it does make the case for the losing team’s captain to be given a few more minutes to recover his thoughts rather than have the mic shoved in his face even before he has had time to get his breath back,” the column further reads.
