England v India - 2nd Vitality International T20
Gavaskar wasn't too happy

Former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar was critical of Pakistan opener Fakhan Zaman and Dinesh Karthik on commentary during the Asia Cup clash between India and Pakistan. While Zaman's decision to wear his national cap backwards didn't go down too well with the Indian legend, Karthik's decision to have DK on the back of his jersey wasn't well received either.

While on the air for Star Sports, Gavaskar said: “Somebody, maybe the captain, should tell him that it’s the national cap. He should wear it properly. You can do this in PSL (Pakistan Super League) may be but this is the national team.”

On Dinesh Karthik's decision to have "DK" on his jersey, he said: “Maybe that’s his nickname but since the jersey carries his number, people should identify with the name. Maybe with the name he can have his initials”.
