The excitement of the 16th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2023) continues, and in this league, former cricketers are making the entertainment of the fans more fun with their commentary. Legendary Test batsmen Sunil Gavaskar and Virender Sehwag are also a part of Star Sports’ commentary team; These former cricketers engage with the fans by giving their opinion on the players’ game during IPL matches.
Meanwhile, the fans are surprised by a TV ad for two of their veterans and are criticizing them fiercely. Sunil Gavaskar and Virender Sehwag have advertised Pan Masala. The fans are angry that why are the players, whom the whole country considers their ideal, advertising such a product, which is injurious to health.
Both the players have advertised for Pan Masala, which is now being aired extensively on TV and OTT platforms during the IPL. Many have appealed to both these cricketers not to do such advertisements, which do not send a good message to society because these products are injurious to health and there is also a risk of severe diseases like cancer.
But many people have directly expressed their displeasure by tagging these veteran cricketers on their social media accounts while criticizing them now.
A fan wrote, Sunil Gavaskar ji, you did not need to do this at this age.
Dear Sunil Gavaskar and Virender Sehwag, You both are cricket legends, but promoting pan masala? That’s a googly we didn’t see coming! Don’t get stumped by the lure of money, and please don’t let cancer bat in your team. Let’s play a healthy match without any harmful habits on… pic.twitter.com/tdVCNkQVCt

Don’t get stumped by the greed of money, and don’t keep a cancer bat in your team. Let’s play a healthy match in which there are no harmful habits.
This fan wrote that Sehwag could have been understood, but Rohan Gavaskar and Sunil Gavaskar should be handled carefully. Shameful. Doesn’t he make enough money as a commentator?
Another fan wrote Sunil Gavaskar also started eating gutkha. These people can do anything for money.
Another fan wrote, “IPL is full of surprises, but Sunil Gavaskar selling paan masala is out of syllabus.”
They say that anything can happen in this cunning world.
Very disappointed with the two legends of world cricket Virender Sehwag and Sunil Gavaskar. They are promoting carcinogenic products through advertisements. He should be cautious while signing television commercials. Set a better example for the younger generation.
