‘Why are you wearing Mayanti’s trousers?’: Gavaskar’s hilarious dig at Uthappa steals show | WATCH

New Delhi: Sunil Gavaskar, the legendary India cricketer known for his sharp analysis and quick wit, gave viewers a good laugh during a recent IPL 2025 broadcast by poking fun at fellow panelist Robin Uthappa’s trousers, which looked strikingly similar to those of anchor Mayanti Langer.

During the discussion, Gavaskar turned to Uthappa and quipped, “I just want to ask, Robin, why is he wearing Mayanti’s trousers?” Uthappa playfully replied, “I wanted to take the attention away from you.” Gavaskar shot back, “I am supposed to be wearing the trousers.” The banter was met with laughter, and Mayanti added, “Screenshot this. Make this the meme now. Brilliant observation, Sunny ji!”

A trend that fans noticed: Gavaskar and Mayanti’s matching outfits

This wasn’t the first time viewers noticed such uncanny outfit coordination. The playful jab stemmed from a popular meme that has been making the rounds for some time, highlighting how Gavaskar and Mayanti often end up wearing matching colours during broadcasts.

Their synchronised styling was first widely noticed during major cricket events such as the 2023 World Cup semi-final between India and New Zealand and the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy group stage match featuring India and Pakistan. Even in the current IPL season alone, Gavaskar and Mayanti have sported similar colours on multiple occasions, delighting fans who eagerly spot these sartorial coincidences.

Sunil Gavaskar’s humorous callout of Uthappa’s trousers not only gave the audience a moment of levity but also rekindled fondness for one of cricket’s most enduring on-screen quirks the accidental but delightful fashion sync between Gavaskar and Mayanti.
