Gavaskar Calls India Critics ‘Hypocrites Masquerading As Experts' | First Sports With Rupha Ramani
Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has launched a scathing attack on what he sees as cricket's biggest double standard. Following criticism of IPL pitches and batting-friendly conditions, Gavaskar questioned why similar scrutiny is rarely applied elsewhere, especially after the recent Lord’s Test pitch controversy. As England adjusts match timings to suit Indian audiences and Australia’s Big Bash League looks toward India for expansion opportunities, Gavaskar argues that the global cricket economy continues to depend on the audience, relevance and commercial power created by Indian cricket. Is the IPL unfairly targeted while other problems are conveniently overlooked? Rupha Ramani looks at Gavaskar’s explosive comments, the Lord’s debate, cricket’s shifting power balance and why India remains both the game's biggest market and its easiest target.Also on the show, as the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaches, visa denials, detentions and the deportation of referee Omar Abdulkadir Artan have sparked concerns that politics is overshadowing football's biggest event. With criticism mounting and questions over FIFA's response, the tournament faces controversy before a single match has begun. And when visa rejections crushed many Argentine fans’ hopes of seeing Lionel Messi at the FIFA World Cup, one electronics brand turned disappointment into delight by gifting free TVs to affected supporters. The campaign transformed a travel setback into a powerful marketing moment, showcasing how brands are tapping into World Cup passion to create memorable fan experiences.
