Their players take back their retirement in 4 days. Sunil Gavaskar made fun of Pakistan on the call of boycott:

News India Live, Digital Desk: Pakistan’s decision not to play against India in the T20 World Cup 2026 has surprised the cricket world, but India’s former great batsman Sunil Gavaskar Instead of taking it seriously, we are looking at it from a very funny perspective. While talking to Aaj Tak and other channels, Gavaskar took a dig at the pattern of Pakistani cricket, where taking decisions and changing them within a few days has become a tradition.

Example of “retirement drama”

Gavaskar compared Pakistan’s decision to boycott to the way their players retire. He smiled and said: “What’s new in this? We all know that Pakistan cricketers retire and then after 4 days they say ‘Our fans have asked us to play’ and take back the retirement. Like retirement, taking a U-turn on this decision too is their old habit.”

Gavaskar was referring to players like Shahid Afridi, Imad Wasim and Mohammad Aamir, who first announced their retirement and later took it back and started playing again.

Will the decision change in 4-5 days?

Little Master believes that this boycott of Pakistan will not last long. He gave two main reasons behind this:

Global Pressure: When the whole world and former players of Pakistan themselves will criticize this decision, then PCB will have to bow down.

ICC action: Gavaskar warned that if Pakistan backed out at the last moment, the ICC should impose strict sanctions on them so that no other team would dare to do so in future.

“Popatwadi Team” comment in discussion again

After this comment of Gavaskar, the fans also remembered his statement of Asia Cup 2025, in which, seeing the poor performance of the Pakistani team, they “Popatwadi Team” Said. His latest statement is also going viral on social media, where fans are sharing memes on the image of Pakistan’s “U-turn expert”.

What if Pakistan does not play?

According to Gavaskar, if Pakistan remains firm on its decision, then:

Pakistan will face heavy financial penalties and may even be expelled from the tournament.
