Sunil Gavaskar's controversial comments cause outrage; Twitter lashes out at commentator
Sunil Gavaskar courted controversy in yesterday's game after he attributed Virat Kohli's poor display to having trained only against his wife Anushka Sharma's bowling during lockdown. In what is seen as a comment in poor taste, Gavaskar has been facing lot of backlash ever since.

Fans want Gavaskar to apologise
Some can be ignored but how #SunilGavaskar commented on Virat's performance is more than worst. You should apologise no matter how much you achieved or your age is.

I'm supporting you @AnushkaSharma. #Shame #AnushkaSharma #ViratKohli
If we win, it's because of team and if we lose it's Anushka's faults!

That sounds inappropriate
Sunil Gavaskar took retirement in 1987, that means he must have been practicing with his wife marshneil's Balls for 33 years.#ViratKohli #AnushkaSharma #SunilGavaskar pic.twitter.com/WhsNhE3TVi

He didn't take catch either
His team lost
How the hell you can take name of her wife
Foolish
If you don't embrace atleast don't disgrace#SunilGavaskar
Blame Virat, not his family
All those defending the first match fixer of cricket world #SunilGavaskar - why bring Anushka in the first place.

Never knew such remarks can come up from a legend like Gavaskar sir. He must apologize what he said about Anushka...#IPL2020

Why not hate Virat for all the flops of Anushka Sharma?? It is very sad to see her facing the wrath everytime. To troll her is disgusting. Remove #SunilGavaskar from commentary.
