Sunil Gavaskar and Ravi Shastri Angry On T20 WC: In the T20 World Cup 2026, a Super-8 match was played between India and West Indies last Sunday. Team India won the match and made it to the semi-finals. During the match, Team India’s former veteran batsman Sunil Gavaskar and Ravi Shastri raised serious questions on the arrangements of the T20 World Cup.

Let us tell you that the match was played in Eden Gardens, Kolkata, where in the run chase, Team India had scored 53/2 runs till the end of the powerplay. The scheduled break was taken after the powerplay was over. During an interval of three minutes, a laser show was organized by dimming the stadium lights, due to which Gavaskar and Shastri got furious. Expressing concern, both of them said that this could divert the attention and vision of the batsmen.

Gavaskar said during commentary

During the commentary, Sunil Gavaskar said, “The laser show during the two-and-a-half or three minutes of the drinks break… It is not easy for the batsmen, or for anyone. For the eyes to get used to the light, to feel comfortable again in the bright light, there is darkness all around you.”

Ravi Shastri also raised questions on the laser show, saying, “Laser lights are on. This is the World Cup. Do you want this kind of entertainment for two and a half minutes? It is fine in the IPL, in the middle of the IPL. Not in the knockouts of the IPL. But here at this moment, in the World Cup, do we need a laser show during the drinks break? From the players’ point of view, it is not easy to get back to normal. This is a serious thing.”
