Sunil Gavaskar allegations against Gautam Gambhir
After Punjab Kings qualified for the playoffs in IPL 2025, Sunil Gavaskar targeted the Indian team coach Gautam Gambhir. After the match between Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals, Sunil Gavaskar said, “Shreyas Iyer’s attempt was tried in KKR. Shreyas made the team champion. But all the credit was given to Gautam Gambhir.”
The credit was attributed to Gautam.
“Gautam Gambhir joined KKR as a mentor in the beginning of the season. After winning the IPL title, the whole story went in favor of Gautam Gambhir. In fact, Shreyas Iyer was entitled to it. Shreyas Iyer did not get the credit for winning the title in the last season. All the credit was given to someone else.” Gavaskar also said the same.

Sunil Gavaskar further said, “The role of the captain is important in any match. No one can win the team by sitting at zero. This year, Shreyas Iyer is really getting all the credit. This time, no one is saying that Ricky Ponting has won Punjab.”
