If Gautam Gambhir has problems with broadcasters then why is he doing commentary on Star Sports? These are just things to say. If someone is playing well then what is wrong with his goodness?

He is saying once during ICC CWC 2023 in Hindi Commentary

" main commentary is liye karta kyun ki main in paiso se bhuke logo ko khana khila saku "

Translation:- I do commentary so that I can feed hungry (needy) people with this money.

Logically, he can easily counter PR with his work. Also broadcasters invite him. I am pretty sure there are many people available for commentary. They can invite them instead of GG. I don't know why broadcasters invite someone who might malignant them. Even they might've realise there is some truth to this.
