And now Gavaskar’s former India teammate Karsan Ghavri has blasted the Indian modern generation for ‘disrespecting’ Gavaskar. He cited the example of Shubman Gill and opined the India Test captain must seek advice from Gavaskar to improve his game.
Indian Batters Need Sunil Gavaskar’s Help
Ghavri then blasted the Indian players for disrespecting Sunil Gavaskar. “Gavaskar has been doing commentary for the last 25 years. His comments are so precious to any young player. It’s very unfortunate that our own players don’t go to him for any advice. Even players from outside go to him. Every Indian batter should go to him, including Shubman Gill.
“I don’t know whether he’s gone to him or not, but if he hasn’t, he should. Somewhere, it would have come in the media – that Sunil Gavaskar has advised Virat Kohli, or Rohit Sharma or Shubman Gill something – but we never got to hear any such thing,” Ghavri was quoted as saying on the Vickey Lalwani Show.
Must Respect Gavaskar
Earlier, Gavaskar’s comments were not taken very well by the likes of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. The ex-cricketer added that, those observations will only help the duo. “It is nonsense. You may be Rohit Sharma or Virat Kohli. They must respect the great man. Because if he tells you something or is advising you on something, that is for their own good,” Ghavri added.
That said, Rohit and Virat have retired from Tests and T20Is, and are only active in ODIs. There are reports circulating, that their future in the format is also uncertain.
