Cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar has expressed outrage over what he perceives as “unacceptable” bodyline bowling directed at an injured Rishabh Pant during a recent England vs. India match. The incident has ignited a heated debate surrounding sportsmanship and ethical play within the cricketing world.
Gavaskar’s Fiery Response to Controversial Bowling Tactics
