'Give him time to splash water on face': Gavaskar on Pant using 'F' word on live TV

Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant used a curse word in a post-match interview. This led to criticism. Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar defended Pant. He suggested broadcasters should give losing captains more time to recover. This would prevent such incidents. Pant's team had a poor IPL 2026 season. He also struggled with his batting performance.
