Fast-bowler with sense of humour, love that: Sunil Gavaskar on Shoaib Akhtar

By Cricketnmore Editorial April 20, 2020 • 18:04 PM View: 1018

Mumbai, April 20: Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has stated he 'enjoyed' former Pakistan fast-bowler Shoaib Akhtar's reply which came after his 'snowfall in Lahore' comment.

"Requests keep coming in to join with them (former cricketers) to relive the old times and talk about how time is spent in the current self containment situation. It's not easy which ones to accept and which to reject," Gavaskar wrote in his column for Mid-Day.
