Sunil Gavaskar (left) has turned into a staunch critic of Duncan Fletcher

Cricketing legend Sunil Gavaskar has come out all guns blazing against coach Duncan Fletcher and has won many a heart by backing Rahul Dravid for the job. S Chuzzlewit digs into the truth behind the sudden about turn of the man who never criticises the moves of BCCI.So Sunil Gavaskar has finally detached himself from the many strings that had so long bound him to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) – against all expectations.

The non-acceptance of Decision Review System (DRS), the flagrant promotion of Indian Premier League (IPL), the incessant bullying that saw the Big Three ultimately take over cricket — and much, much more. All along the great man had chosen to be silent, non-committal; sitting in the air-conditioned confines of the commentary box but refusing to utter anything critical against the establishment — even as the sins of BCCI piled up in front of the eyes, almost hiding cricket from public view. The great Sunil Gavaskar, who never cowed down before the administration, had now become a pro-establishment man, moaned fans on various social media platforms.
