After the previous match played by RCB, legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar was called for making sexist remarks on Anushka and Virat for the latter's poor performance. Anushka, in a note on Instagram, slammed him for not having an equal respect for all and questioned that when will people stop dragging her into cricket and blame her for her husband's failure. Gavaskar, in a statement, put forth his stand that he never made a sexist comment.
