Trousers Trouble! Sunil Gavaskar turns fashion police on Live TV, WATCH

Legendary Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar is known for his sharp cricketing insight and fearless analysis, but every now and then, he reminds us that he’s equally gifted with a dry, quick-witted sense of humour. That blend of candour and comedy was on full display during a recent IPL 2025 broadcast, where he had both viewers and co-panellists in splits — all thanks to a cheeky sartorial observation.

The Trousers That Took Over the Internet

During a lively pre-match discussion on Star Sports, Gavaskar, seated alongside Robin Uthappa and Mayanti Langer, turned his attention to the former Indian batter’s bold wardrobe choice.

“I just want to ask, Robin, why is he wearing Mayanti’s trousers?” quipped Gavaskar, deadpan.
The panel burst out laughing, with Uthappa quick to respond,
“I wanted to take the attention away from you.”
Not one to miss a beat, Gavaskar added,
“I’m supposed to be wearing the trousers!”
Mayanti, ever the sport, chimed in with flair:
“Today, our stylist had the conversation. Not yours and mine. Screenshot this — make this the meme now. But brilliant observation, Sunny ji!”

A Meme Legacy Reignited

This playful banter brought back memories of an old viral meme where Gavaskar’s trousers hilariously matched one of Mayanti’s outfits, sparking waves of online laughter. True to form, the cricketing legend has now reignited that meme legacy — only this time, with Robin Uthappa caught in the crossfire.

Sunny, Suits, and Savagery

In a world of high-stakes cricket and intense matchups, moments like these are a breath of fresh air. Gavaskar’s quick wit, combined with the easy camaraderie of the broadcast team, served up one of the funniest live television moments of the season. As for the trousers? Whether they were Mayanti’s or not, they’ve certainly walked straight into meme history.
