Sunil Gavaskar ensures protection of personality rights
Sunil Gavaskar, batting legend of the Indian national cricket team, has become the first Indian sportsman to obtain protection for his personality rights. He benefited from judicial protection for his personality and his rights to publicity.
Senior counsel Gopal Jain appeared for the batting legend, briefed by Krida Legal, comprising managing partner Vidushpat Singhania and his team.
The Delhi High Court has ordered anyone using the name and likeness of Sunil Gavaskar to remove all such posts, videos and associated content from social media and e-commerce platforms within 72 hours.
If individuals fail to comply with the court order, the platforms themselves will be required to remove the infringing content. Further, the court took note of the misleading content shared online and said that sharing posts which cannot harm the public image of an individual cannot be allowed.
Sanjay Manjrekar launches attack on Shubman Gill
Former Indian national cricket team batsman Sanjay Manjrekar has launched an attack on star batter Shubman Gill after his exclusion from the Indian T20I squad.
Shubman Gill was recently left out of the Indian T20I squad despite being the vice-captain, and Axar Patel was named deputy to Suryakumar Yadav for the 2026 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
Gill’s removal follows his horrible run in T20I cricket since his return to the format. Meanwhile, Sanjay Manjrekar indirectly took a dig at Gill in a social media post discussing his exclusion. He declared:
“He hasn’t got a single 50 in 20 innings. A statistic often cited to suggest a loss of form. T20s are and always will be about strike rate. The last thing you want is an out-of-form batter who plays cautiously when approaching 50. That will cause you to lose the game.”
He did not make a single 50 in 20 innings. A statistic often cited to suggest a loss of form. T20s are and always will be about strike rates.
The last thing you want is for an out-of-form hitter to play conservatively as he approaches 50. This will cause you to lose the game.–Sanjay Manjrekar (@sanjaymanjrekar) December 23, 2025
