Sunil Gavaskar reminded how Mumbai's big-hitting Sarfaraz Khan also faced body shaming, but it didn't affect his performance at all.

Sunil Gavaskar has come out in strong support of Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma, emphasizing that cricket should not be judged by physical appearance but by performance on the field. In a recent interview, Gavaskar criticized the focus on players' fitness levels, particularly in light of comments made about Rohit Sharma's fitness. He argued that cricket is a sport where skill, strategy, and mental toughness are paramount, not just physical fitness. Gavaskar pointed out that if selectors were looking for "slim guys," they should consider a modeling competition instead. He highlighted Rohit's achievements, including his leadership in taking the team to the semi-finals of the 2022 T20 World Cup and his consistent performance in Test cricket, underscoring that Rohit's contribution to the team goes beyond mere physical attributes.
