IPL 2023: Rohan Gavaskar Slammed For 'Rubbish' Comment On Yash Dayal After Getting Hit For 5 Sixes By Rinku Singh

The entire cricketing world is going ga-ga over what Kolkat Knight Riders (KKR) batter Rinku Singh was able to pull off against Gujarat Titans (GT) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 match on Sunday. To hit 5 consecutive sixes is no mean feat, let alone doing so in a chase while needing 28 runs from those 5 balls. As the cricketing fraternity doffed its hat to Rinku Singh, former India cricketer Rohan Gavasked earned flak on social media for his on-air comments on the bowler Yash Dayal.

The Jr. Gavaskar, who was on commentary during the match, called out the Gujarat pacer Yash for his 'rubbish' bowling. Gavaskar took the focus away from Rinku and what he was able to do with the bat on Sunday and implied that it was the pacer's poor bowling that enabled the KKR batter to pull off such a heist.

"This is why I say it's a bowler's game. He has bowled absolute rubbish over there, but we've been talking about Rinku Singh and how good he has been batting. Yesterday we were saying that if a batter goes at about a run-a-ball or at a strike-rate of 120, you are criticising him. A bowler goes for 31 and you say it's Rinku Singh - he takes the plaudits. And that is why I keep saying this is a bowler's game," he said.

Time for both “senior and junior Gavaskar” to take retirement from commentary for the sake of humanity!Absolute shambolic commentary by Rohan Gavaskar ruining a landmark moment!While u are at it, plz take Murali Karthik & Deep Dasgupta with u as well!#CricketTwitter #IPL2023 https://t.co/szlKQq9lwx
