Get Aside Shahrukh Khan

This is not cricket!
The darling of yesteryears, the legendary Sunil Gavaskar 'Sunny', certainly does not deserve the tongue lashing meted out to him by Shahrukh Khan. Sunil Gavaskar had some valid remarks against Shahrukh's team coach Buchanan. Gavaskar is justified to do that, that's his observation. But look, what Shahrukh did. He questioned the very legend, negating Gavaskar's achievements, knowledge and experience. Shahruk Apne Paise Ke Zor Par Gavaskar Ko Neecha Dikhana Chahta Hai.

I ask of Shahrukh Khan, who are you? Does throwing in money,  make you the boss of Indian cricket? That's what you were bragging about in your silly press conference. People love you as an actor, that's the end of the story. We love cricket and we love our cricketers. How dare you challenge Sunil Gavaskar to put up a team? Money has really gone to your head. Money brings ego, and one's downfall. That's what happening to you. Learn a lesson or two in humility from the more famous and the legend Amitabh Bachchan.

Having money, does not qualify Shahrukh Khan to abuse the cricketing legends - they are National Heroes and National Wealth. They have toiled for the country and they have made us proud as Indians. I am totally against this system of cricket and sports where money matters more than the sportsmen themselves. The BCCI should look into this dangerous trend emerging from the IPL format. Tommorow another silly, moneyed, egoistic can challenge the Sachins and Dhonis!? I know cricket is driven by money and cricket brings in still more money. But why should people like Shahrukh rule over the Indian cricket? Why not people like Gavaskar, Kapil Dev and the other greats?

I'm going to hoot against your team Shahrukh. I have lost respect for you. The people of India are not going to forget this insult of their hero, Sunil Gavaskar, the greatest of all cricketers India has produced.
Mera Bharat Mahaan. Bharat Mata Ki Jai.
