Gavaskar wants tougher jail sentence for Virat Kohli & Gautum Gambhir for IPL brawls

For the day, the focus of world cricket shifted away from the IPL. All the talk of high-scoring matches, the dominance of defending champions Gujarat Titans and speculation about MS Dhoni’s final season all came to a standstill starting late Monday night when Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir got into a nasty fight after the match.

 Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore at Ekana Stadium. Videos of the infamous altercation did the rounds on social media and the players took to Instagram to take their war, while the BCCI played a role by handing out hefty fines. But Sunil Gavaskar questioned whether the fines are enough to ensure that something like this never happens in the future.

There was a flare-up between Kohli and Naveen-ul-Haq during the fag end of the match with the umpires intervening along with Amit Mishra. Later, the battle escalated into a post-match altercation where Kohli got into a heated conversation with Gambhir before being separated by his teammates.

The BCCI on Tuesday charged Kohli and Gambhir their entire match fees as punishment for breaching the IPL code of conduct. However, Gavaskar, in an interview with Star Sports, called for stricter measures to ensure that such fights do not take place in the future.

“Well, I saw the visuals a while ago, I didn’t see the match live yesterday. These things never look good. What is 100% match fee? What exactly is 100% match fee? If it’s Kohli, who has for RCB maybe ₹17 crore, which means ₹17 crore for a possible 16 matches, including the semi-final and the final. So you are talking about crores of rupees. Will he be fined ₹1 crore? and more? Well, that is a very, very stiff fine,” Gavaskar said.

“I don’t know what Gambhir’s situation is. They should make sure it doesn’t happen again. You hope it doesn’t happen again because it’s such a severe fine, such a severe punishment. You want to play it hard, play it competitively.” During the time we played there was a bit of banter, but there was none of the aggression that we see now. It has a lot to do with the fact that everything is also on TV. Because You’re on TV, you tend to do maybe just that little bit extra,” he added.

In fact, the batting legend called for a few-match suspension as one solution so that their respective teams bear the brunt.

“So, I mean, do something to ensure that these things don’t happen again. If you have to, you know, like it happened with Harbhajan and Sreesanth 10 years ago, you have to ask them to maybe step aside.” a few matches. Make sure you do something to make sure these things don’t happen as well as something to hurt the team. This is difficult,” he added.
