Sunil Gavaskar speaks on the Heated Argument between Virat and Gambhir
Former Cricketer and 1983 World Cup Winner Sunil Gavaskar feels that both players should face punishments. “Well, I saw the visuals only a while ago, I did not see the match live yesterday. These things never look good.
What is a 100 percent match fee? What exactly is a 100 percent match fee? If it is Kohli, who is on maybe Rs 17 crore for RCB, which means Rs 17 crore for a possible 16 matches, including the semi-finals, and finals. So you are talking about a crore of rupees.
Is he going to be fined Rs 1 crore and more? Well, that’s a very, very stiff fine,” Gavaskar told Star Sports. “There was a bit of banter, but there was none of this aggression that we see now. A lot of it has got to do with the fact that everything is on TV too. Because of the fact that you are on TV, you tend to do maybe just that little bit extra,” he added.
