Sunil Gavaskar, the former India cricketer and now commentator is known for his outspoken personality. He does not shy away from making controversial remarks on any player.

The same has happened recently with Gavaskar, when he was asked about Shane Warne in a show. While talking to India Today in the show for the Australian cricketer, Gavaskar said he was shocked after hearing the news of Warne’s demise.

When asked if he rates Shane Warne highly in his book of World’s best spinners, Gavaskar denied and said, ‘No, I don’t’.

“Would you say, in your cricketing times, he is the greatest spinner that you have seen?,” Rajdeep Sardesai asked Gavaskar.

To this, the former India cricketer replied:

“No, I wouldn’t say that no. For me the Indian spinners and Muttiah Muralitharan were better than Shane Warne”.

“Look at Shane Warne’s record against India. It was pretty ordinary. In India, he got five wickets only once in Nagpur, and that too because Zaheer Khan swung wildly against him to give him a fifer. Because he did not have much success against Indian players who were very good players of spin, I don’t think I would call him the greatest. Muttiah Muralitharan with a greater success he had against India, I would rank him over Warne in my book,” added Gavaskar.

The former captain’s remark on the Australian cricketer didn’t go well with Twitter users as they found it insensitive. Here are some of the Twitter reactions:

Sunil Gavaskar refuses to call Shane Warne the greatest spinner ever because he didn't take enough wicket in India and Indian Batsman.
Can he say same about Sachin who didn't have great numbers against say Glenn McGrath?
He should've said 'Not today'

Dear Sunil Gavaskar sir,

Late Shane Warne had Glen McGrath, Damien Fleming, Jason Gillespie, Brett Lee with more than 1000 test wickets in his team and yet he had 708 test wickets.if you are saying he is not the best spinner ever played then you are smoking something really bad.

Never expected this from Sunil Gavaskar. I thought it was taken in a wrong way but when I listened it myself, then I realised that it was wrong and too insensitive.

Sunil Gavaskar, the most overrated cricketer. He must feel this pain and so he utter this insensitivity in his speeches. He is rated way above his pay grade due to paid media. He is no great & people will always remember him for being a selfish person. Shane Warne was great pic.twitter.com/dDxN8Mdsde

Anything coming from Sunil Gavaskar doesn't surprise me anymore. He was one of the greatest batsmen of his time but failed to deliver as a commentator.

— Shivani Shukla 🏏 (@iShivani_Shukla) March 5, 2022

This is an open challenge to Sunil gavaskar, to speak only about cricket while commenting, and to stop embarrassing himself and india in the whole world.
