Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar recently interacted with Bollywood actor Riteish Deshmukh's sons and gave them autographs. The legendary cricketer turned 75 today (July 10). He was one of the superstars of the sport across the world in the 70s and 80s. Gavaskar held several records and was also part of the Indian team which won the 1983 World Cup.
Across a storied international career spanning 16 years, Gavaskar scored 10122 runs at an average of 51.12 in 125 Tests. He was also the first batter to cross the 10,000-runs mark in Test cricket history.
An Instagram page named filmymantramedia shared a video on Wednesday to give a glimpse of Sunil Gavaskar's interactions with Riteish Deshmukh's kids. On his birthday, the legend can be seen giving the young boys autographs.

"They can surely go on and win the WTC and beat Australia in Australia" - Sunil Gavaskar wants Hardik Pandya to bolster the team in Test cricket
During a recent conversation with Revsportz, Sunil Gavaskar opined that the Indian Test team would become invincible if Hardik Pandya makes a comeback in the format, as his inclusion gives wonderful balance to the XI. The legendary cricketer said:
"I think in the next two months, there should be an attempt to convince Hardik Pandya to play Test cricket. If he bowls 10 overs a day to go with his batting, this Indian team could become invincible, and they can surely go on and win the WTC and beat Australia in Australia."
Gavaskar was also impressed with Rohit Sharma's captaincy after India's victorious campaign in the 2024 T20 World Cup. On the matter, he added:
"There are some captains for whom it is the pleasure of captaincy. Rohit and MS Dhoni belong to that category. There are others for whom it is the pressure of captaincy. I was in that category. That Rohit is relaxed and enjoys captaincy makes him the captain that he is. I love the way he leads his team and his body language."
