Discussion Has cricket broadcaster become a PR agency for certain players?

[The Lonelier Island]

Gautam Gambhir that every player works hard to represent India and when the broadcaster becomes a PR agent for a certain player then it would affect other cricketers and they can't speak out openly.

He added that "It's been a long time since India won a World Cup and the bitter truth is our media and importantly the social media, if they become a PR machinery for certain individuals then you will never get the result. Every member of the squad works hard to represent India, and if a broadcaster becomes a PR machinery of 1-2 players then the other members of the squad won't be able to speak out openly."

Here's the clip below where he spoke how players like Yuvraj Singh are being undershadowed and undervalued while hiding behind words like underrated.

He won us World Cups and IPL. His innings in World Cup final is worth more than a fluke.

Gautam Gambhir do commentary for the same broadcaster.
Virat Kohli is the greatest indian batsman of all time. He is playing uninterruptedly without getting injured, youth icon.
Gambhir should accept it soon for gaining his lost credibility.

We won world cup because it was a team effort. He has not that capacity to win single handedly like kohi.
Morever, Yuvraj performance was way better than him in those 2 world cups. Have you ever heard complaining about other players.

Most cricketers aren't outspoken like Gautam Gambhir. The ones that talk beyond cricket are usually politicians who becomes bigger than BCCI like Gautam Gambhir and Kirti Azad. He's a TMC MP.

Highlights over live match? That on a secondary channel. I see that even some magazine show is being aired on Live BBL matches on Star Sports 1.

Was the BBL match suppose to overlap India tour of South Africa, Kabbadi League or Premier League?
