Sunil Gavaskar Critiques IPL Franchises' Scouting and Player Selection Strategies
Sunil Gavaskar criticized IPL franchises for overpaying players based on performances in state and city leagues, which he says do not match the IPL's higher standards. He warned that franchises risk wasting money if scouting is influenced by hype and agents rather than consistent skills. Gavaskar highlighted cases where expensive players received limited game time, suggesting scouting failures, though he acknowledged some players like Kartik Sharma performed well despite limited domestic experience.
