"100% match fees Fine is soft, hand match suspensions to Gambhir and Kohli!" Sunil Gavaskar slams BCCI!

Former Indian World cup winning Batsman Sunil Gavaskar is known for his flamboyant attitude and just like all of us, he also had something to say about the Kohli-Gambhir feud. After the BCCI slapped a fine of 100% of their match fees, Sunny G said that it was a decision which went very soft on both of the individuals who come from New Delhi.

And for a fact, deducting a few lakhs or the entire match fees will not negatively affect any of them and maybe it is the reason why Sunil Gavaskar is pissed off. The heated altercation which took place at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow initially popped off in the 17th over of 2nd innings between Virat Kohli and Naveen Ul-Haq.

Then after RCB defended a low total of 127 by registering an 18-run victory to level the equation between them this season. While Kohli and Gambhir were fined 100% of match fees, Afghani pacer Naveen Ul-Haq was sanctioned 50% of his fee.

During a post match show, Sunil Gavaskar stated that players should receive harsh punishments for breaching the Code of conduct and asked for game suspensions on Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli.

“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 per cent match fee? What exactly is a 100 per cent match fee? If it is Kohli, who is on maybe ₹17 crore for RCB, which means ₹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 ₹1 crore and more? Well, that’s a very, very stiff fine,” Gavaskar said.
“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.” – Sunil Gavaskar concluded.
