Gavaskar Slams IPL Critics After Lord’s Pitch Disaster | First Sports With Rupha Ramani

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has launched a scathing attack on what he sees as cricket's biggest double standard. Following criticism of IPL pitches and batting-friendly conditions, Gavaskar questioned why similar scrutiny is rarely applied elsewhere, especially after the recent Lord’s Test pitch controversy. As England adjusts match timings to suit Indian audiences and Australia’s Big Bash League looks toward India for expansion opportunities, Gavaskar argues that the global cricket economy continues to depend on the audience, relevance and commercial power created by Indian cricket. Is the IPL unfairly targeted while other problems are conveniently overlooked? Rupha Ramani looks at Gavaskar’s explosive comments, the Lord’s debate, cricket’s shifting power balance and why India remains both the game's biggest market and its easiest target. --- Sunil Gavaskar | Lord's Test Pitch | Indian Premier League | England Cricket | Big Bash League | First Sports | Rupha Ramani | Firstpost | Sports News #sunilgavaskar #ipl #lords #cricketnews #indiancricket #englandcricket #bbl #sportsnews #firstsports #rupharamani #firstpost Firstpost is an Indian news and media website.
