Sunil Gavaskar Critica Gambhir Gambhir

After Punjab Kings was classified in the playoffs this season, Sunil Gavaskar stated that the last time Iyer directed his franchise to an IPL trophy victory, he did not obtain the credit.

According to Sunil Gavaskar, all the credit was given to someone else (referring to Gambhir). Gautam Gambhir was the mentor of the KKR champion in the last season. Fans and experts gave all the credit, as he made some changes in game XI and helped KKR win the title after 11 years.

“He did not get credit for the IPL victory last season. All plades were given to someone else. It is the captain who plays an important role in the middle and not someone sitting in the mouth. Look, this year has a fair credit. No one is giving all the credit to Ricky Ponting,” said Sunil Gavaskar in star sports.

Sunil Gavaskar also emphasized that now, in the success of Punjab, no one is giving credit to his main coach, Ricky pointing.

Shreyas Iyer took Punjab Kings to the playoffs after 11 years

Shreyas Iyer demonstrated his sentence again in the new franchise, as he directed Punjab to the Playoffs IPL after an 11 -year wait. He also became the first pattern to lead three IPL teams in the IPL’s knockout phase.

Punjab bought a fantastic price of 26.5 crore at the mega auction. He entered the auction as the defensive champion of the IPL, and Punjab went to the auction.

Shreyas Iyer lost IPL 2023 due to a back injury, but in the following season he made an excellent comeback and led KKR to raise the IPL trophy, and now in two successive IPL seasons, he has brought his side to the Playoffs.

The Indian batter did not take any pressure on the price; He has just played his aggressive cricket and supported his players on the floor.
