Anushka Sharma lashes out at Sunil Gavaskar after he gets brutally trolled for his comment on Virushka; actress calls it ‘distasteful’

This Friday legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar was stuck in a tricky situation after he passed a comment about Virat Kohli’s game that was ruined because of his wife Anushka Sharma’s being spoken about in it. Virat did not have a good day at the IPL match as he missed catches and failed to bat well also. Gavaskar pointed out something about Virat’s game, which was slightly distasteful.

During the match Gavaskar made a comment involving Virat and Anushka, he said, “Inhone lockdown me to bas Anushka ki gendon ki practice ki hai.” This did not go down well for Gavaskar as he was brutally bashed by netizens. One wrote, “Heard this live and the guy laughed. He has always been in the news for making some really unacceptable remarks “jokingly” while in the commentary box but this isn’t okay. Who gave him the right to drag somebody’s family into it irrespective of the context he meant it in?”, another wrote, “This is so disgusting. The way they don’t forget to bring Anushka whenever he doesn’t perform is so filthy. In whatever context he said, this statement cannot be justified. It isn’t funny at all.”

I know this was meant to be taken as joke because he was playing cricket with her during lockdown. But ??? https://t.co/diZ8WJ1AAu

Reacting to Gavaskar’s statement, Anushka wrote, “That, Mr Gavaskar, your message is distasteful is a fact but I would love for you to explain why you thought of making such a sweeping statement on a wife accusing her of her husband’s game?” She concluded, “Its 2020 and things still don’t change for me. When will I stop getting dragged into cricket and stop being used to pass sweeping statements? (sic).”
