"I don't think there is any running in that family [Inzamam-ul-Haq and Imam-ul-Haq]": Sunil Gavaskar

[FearlessRoar]

During commentary in the group-stage encounter between India and Pakistan in the ICC Champions Trophy

Ravi Shastri: Does poor running run in the ul-Haq family?
Sunny Gavaskar: I don't think there is any running in that family

As a legend of the game, I didn't expect such a low remark from Sunil Gavaskar.

 

[FearlessRoar]

This will come back to Sunil Gavaskar

 

[dildilpak]

That was actually pretty funny dig

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Quick witted from Sunny G. Can't hate him for it.

 

[Major]

chado yara,
Couldnt find a controversy in todays match. This one isnt worth it. Was a boring match

it was just a joke

 

[mominsaigol]

Tbh, i don't mind this comment from sunny. It's a low blow but the team.itself is shameless

 

[Local.Dada]

It was funny or could be ok if it was used on Kapil Sharma show but not during professional commentary. Not a fan of such insults. It was different if Gavaskar and Inzimam were buddies but don’t think that’s the case.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Bhai stop this cancel culture. Said it in jest

Why so overly sensitive, isn't extra fat insulting?

 

[jnaveen1980]

I usually criticize Sunny for stupid remarks like he talked about David HOokes death. This wasn't offending. It wasn't fat shaming by any stretch of the imagination. Inzamam used to be a poor judge. Imam was showing similar judgement here. It Was spontaneous. The tone with which he said was more a sly dig.

Wasim did well to turn the topic on himself, else Imam and Inzamam poultry running always makes for a funny situation.

This.

Akram handled it very well and made sure there is no further elaboration on the unwarranted dig at Inzi’s family.

Harmless dig and funny for others. But Inzi must be a tad bit hurt.

 

[deltexas]

Imam can take it the right way and work on his fitness and performance instead of sulking and the same Sunny G will start praising him. A total non issue this.

 

[Farhan The Man]

It's funny. Because it's true.

Clowns. The whole lot.

 

[Bhaijaan]

When The legendary Sunil Gavaskar jokes about you, you say thank you.

He’s one of the greatest test batters ever.

 

[shah9425]

Yeah he might was a poor runner

But was a an all time great and better than Sunil

 

[Hellion]

I know it was a joke but it should've been avoided. No need to bring family into this

 

[Hitman]

Inzamam being better than Sunny would be akin to Kaneria being better than Warne.

 

[Josh]

Sunny G is quite old man now

 

[MP2011]

Bit surprised at Imam's poor running between wickets. I think he is quite a good fielder and he proved that by that great catch of Iyer. Since he is athletic and generally a good fielder, how come his running between wickets is coming for flak?

 

[Asad T]

imam just got frustrated that he wasn't able to score, so he tried for risky singles

inzi was the opposite; he could score freely, but couldnt run

 

[Cricket Warrior]

Axar Patel reveals how he planned Imam’s run-out in IND vs PAK game, he said:

“The ball before I was visualising that he may look for such a single, and I can pull off a direct hit. I was a few steps behind initially, but charged in. The movement was same as I expected and I was able to make a direct hit,”

“When I came onto bowl in the powerplay, he had taken a single through mid-off where Harshit Rana was fielding. So, I thought that it must be in his plans, and whatever videos I had seen of him, he was always stepping out to take quick singles against spinners,”

Athletic? Have you seen imams belly? He's podgy.

he might not be athletic but the catch he took that day was excellent which couldn't have happened had he not been agile.
