Gavaskar Blasts Overseas IPL Stars' 'Cash Cow' Attitude
Sunil Gavaskar didn't hold back. He tore into overseas stars—Starc, Pathirana, Green—for whining about fitness while pocketing massive paychecks yet showing so little grit. Imagine that. Dropping three names from different teams, all raking in the IPL millions. And what do they do? Duck behind injury gripes when the going gets tough. Gavaskar's point lands hard: commit or don't bother showing up. Foreign players love the cash. But effort? That's where it falls short. Sunil sees right through it.
Sunil Gavaskar let rip at overseas IPL stars yesterday. He branded the league their personal cash cow—one they barely bother milking properly. Fitness excuses from Mitchell Starc, Matheesha Pathirana, and Cameron Green? Gavaskar wasn't buying it. Bowling just four overs? That's no sweat, he reckoned.
BCCI needs to clamp down hard, he argued. Overseas boards snag the IPL cash even as their players dodge international duties. For that fat payday, Gavaskar wants total buy-in. No half-measures.
CricHubb Take
Gavaskar nailed it in his rant. IPL shells out crores to these overseas stars. They better bring full all-round efforts.
