Sunil Gavaskar knew Sachin Tendulkar’s quality before he showed to the world
Sachin Tendulkar made the international debut against Pakistan on 15th November 1989 at Karachi. He played the first innings and scored 15 runs, got out on the ball of another Test debutant Waqar Younis. Sachin didn’t get the chance in the second innings but has marked his entry in the cricket world. Sunil Gavaskar reminds an incident when he got see the magic of Sachin Tendulkar. After that incident, he remarked him as special.
“Bowlers tend to overstep the mark in the nets, maybe 20 yards in place of 22 yards and Raju (Kulkarni) was fairly nippy. The way he (Sachin) was playing off the back-foot and punching him, told how much time he had. He was just 15 years old and had too much time to play quick bowling. This really was an indication that this man will go on to become something special,” Sunil Gavaskar told the official broadcasters during day 2 of the ongoing India-Bangladesh Test match in Indore.
Sachin Tendulkar also celebrated his 30th anniversary by following his love. On Twitter, he shared a post where the legend can be seen practising his old style.
