They don&#39;t look at what the IPL does. I think it all boils down to jealousy. Only those who do not benefit from it, do not get anything from the IPL criticise it,&quot; Gavaskar said on India Today&#39;s latest episode of Inspiration.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;There are so many people whose livelihoods are there because of the IPL. It can be the guys who are at the grounds who paint people&#39;s faces, people who are making those shirts that are sold outside the stadiums just before a match, or the vendors who have food stalls at the stadium. There is an entire cottage industry around the IPL,&quot; he further added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Gavaskar also said that people criticise IPL on social media because it is a soft target.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Somebody wants to be a little famous on the Internet, then you target the IPL. The IPL is a soft target,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;An argument people opposed to the IPL give is, we know Indian cricket and we are thinking of the good of Indian cricket. Oh, I see, so you are the only ones who are going to be sitting in judgement and telling us what is good for Indian cricket. Of course, not,&quot; Gavaskar added.<\/p>\r\n",
