Blogs Gavaskar & Tendulkar: What A Combination!!
January 24th, 2009 by prashantOn one of my recent plane rides I was able to watch a sports show where Sachin Tendulkar & Sunil Gavaskar were interviewed by Rajdeep Sardesai. It was a very unique experience to see these two mega-stars of Indian Cricket together. There were some interesting questions and some interesting answers.
At one point Rajdeep asked Sunil Gavaskar whether it was true that he (Gavaskar) did not know what score he was on at any given point. To that Sunny answered that “it was true”. His logic was that if one knew that he was on 46 or 96 then it might influence the next shot selection. Sachin said that he knew what his score was but now understood what he was supposed to do 
Sunil has given his best performance against the West Indies and Sachin against the Aussies. When asked if he raised his game against a “bigger” opponent, Sachin’s reply was “I wish I could do that”
Gavaskar’s most memorable moment was India’s WC win in 1983 and Sachin’s sounded really disappointed when he said that they had come so close in 2003 
All in all it a very well conducted interview with a combination of some light hearted moments and some serious stuff….
