Indian batting legend Sunil Gavaskar has stated that he gives batting advice to current Indian players because he doesn’t have ego.
Sunil Gavaskar opens up on the matter
He explained that since India already having a head coach in batting legend Rahul Dravid as well as a separate batting coach in Vikram Rathour, he is mindful of confusing the players with too much information.
Team India’s main batters have been toiling for runs over the last few seasons especially in red-ball cricket. Inconsistent performances from Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane have hurt India’s chances in major events like the World Test Championship (WTC).
Gavaskar has been around the Indian team in almost every game that they have played in recent years. Asked about whether any cricketer had approached him for advice, the former Indian captain said at The Indian Express Idea Exchange:
“No, no one has come. Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman regularly came to me. And they would approach me with a specific problem and you could tell them something which you had observed.”
On why he is careful about himself going to the players and having a chat, the batting legend explained:
“I don’t have an ego about this, I could go and talk to them but since there are two coaches – Rahul Dravid and Vikram Rathore – so sometimes you hold back since you don’t want to confuse them with too much information.”
