NEW DELHI
Indian cricketing great Ravi Shastri in a recent interview revealed his favorite co-batter.
Talking to ESPNCricinfo, Shastri said that Indian legend Sunil Gavaskar was his favorite partner as any player would be willing to give their “right arm or a leg” just to bat with the 1983 World Cup winner.
The former India head coach was initially asked with whom he enjoyed batting more; Kris Srikkanth or Sunil Gavaskar.
“Gavaskar, I mean people will give their right arm or a leg just to be at the non-striker’s end when that great man is at the other end.” Shastri told ESPNCricinfo.
Gavaskar first appeared for India in March 1971, in a red-ball game vs England at Queen’s Park Oval.
He also played his last international game in an ODI fixture, in November 1987 against England, at Wankhede Stadium.
