The legendary Indian cricket team opener Sunil Gavaskar thinks that the current national team hitters have certain technical issues, but none of them have ever gone to him for assistance. In a recent conversation, Gavaskar remembered assisting Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid with particular problems, but he made it plain that no players from the current crop have spoken to him about batting approaches. Even if he is willing to assist them, the former India captain was clear that he avoids approaching them about it so as not to interfere with the present trainers.
“No, nobody arrived. Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman, and Rahul Dravid frequently visited me. And when somebody came to me with a specific issue, you might share an observation you had made with them, he added at The Indian Express Idea Exchange.
I don’t have an ego about this; I could go and chat with them, but since there are two coaches, Vikram Rathore, and Rahul Dravid, sometimes you hold back because you don’t want to overwhelm them with information, he continued.
Gavaskar also recalled talking to Virender Sehwag about maybe altering his batting technique; this advice ultimately benefited the powerful batter.
“You should investigate what has changed with your technique if batters are consistently making the same errors. How have you attempted to make the batter better? Have you attempted to suggest that you use a different guard? Take a middle and off-stump guard rather than a leg-stump guard.

“I recall making an impromptu call to Virender Sehwag once. He hadn’t been putting up a lot of runs. Just try the off-stump guard, I advised him. Thus, he inquired, “Why, Sunny bhai?” So I said to him, “Look, your footwork isn’t exactly fantastic. It makes things more challenging for you because sometimes when you’re getting out, you’re reaching out for the delivery. Therefore, perhaps taking the off-stump guard will allow you to immediately recognize that the ball is outside the off-stump. The coach can offer his suggestions in that situation, Gavaskar continued.
