The former fast bowler Karsan Ghavri has slammed Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill for disrespecting legendary Sunil Gavaskar, and he is not happy about it.

When it comes to Indian cricket, Sunil Gavaskar remains right up there. The legendary former batter is still a notable person in Indian cricket, who is always available to help youngsters.

Karsan claimed that Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and VVS Laxman are always turned to the great man for help, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill are big names in their own right and according to Ghavri, these three have disrespected the legend, and he is not happy about it.

“Gavaskar has been doing commentary for the last 25 years. His comments are so precious to any young player. It’s very unfortunate that our own players don’t go to him for any advice. Even players from outside go to him.”

“Every Indian batter should go to him, including Shubman Gill. I don’t know whether he’s gone to him or not, but if he hasn’t, he should. Somewhere, it would have come in the media – that Sunil Gavaskar has advised Virat Kohli, or Rohit Sharma or Shubman Gill something – but we never got to hear any such thing,” said Karsan Ghavri.

Karsan Ghavri referred to Rohit’s alleged complaint against Sunil Gavaskar during the 2024-25 Border Gavaskar Trophy ans also the rift with Virat Kohli in IPL 2024. He is of the opinion that Sunil Gavaskar does not deserve such disrespect.

Sunil Gavaskar was the first match to score 10,000 Test runs and for over 20 years had the most test 100s in the world. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are in the twilight of their careers while Shubman Gill is in his prime.

“It is nonsense. You may be Rohit Sharma or Virat Kohli. They must respect the great man. Because if he tells you something or is advising you on something, that is for their own good.”

“Ravi Shastri is an open-hearted guy. When it comes to criticising somebody, he will do it, but Sunil does it in a very different manner. He is known for saying things totally different to Ravi shastri,” he added.
