Gavaskar's comments for Virat and Anushka was seen as crass by social media.
Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar is facing the wrath on social media for his comments on Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) Virat Kohli. Kohli didn't have a good day on the field against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) in the ongoing IPL 2020.
Virat was dismissed off just one run and also dropped two catches of KXIP captain KL Rahul, who then scored an unbeaten 132 runs.
In the commentary box, Gavaskar came up with a comment including actress Anushka Sharma. There was a video of Kohli and his wife Anushka surfacing on the internet where they played cricket together.

Speaking in the same context, Gavaskar said Virat has faced Anushka's delivery only. The exact words are, "Inhone lockdown me toh bas Anushka ki gendon ki practice ki hai".
Social media slammed the choice of words from the Indian cricket veteran. Fans were disappointed with the comment from a senior and lambasted him on Twitter.
