Sunil Gavaskar says he would have loved to play for THIS IPL franchise

Sunil Gavaskar says he would have loved to play for THIS IPL franchise

Mumbai: Batting maestro Sunil Gavaskar on Wednesday said he would have preferred to play for Mumbai Indians, if not for Chennai Super Kings in the IPL, especially to see how Mahendra Singh Dhoni captains the side.

Giving two reasons in favour of Chennai, the batting legend said he would like to see how MS Dhoni captains the team. "Is he as calm and composed in the dressing room as he is on the field? Does he lose his cool when someone has dropped a catch or somebody didn’t back up a fielder? That's what I would like to know," he said on Star Sports Q&A programme.

Spelling out the second reason, Gavaskar said he would play for Chennai because of their owners who are passionate about cricket and done so much for the sport. "Srinivasan sir has done a lot for cricket," he said.

Asked who he would like to see play the IPL from his era, Gavaskar named Sandeep Patil as a batsman and Kapil Dev as an allrounder, besides BS Chandrashekhar in the T20 format.

"Look, a batsman I would like to see would be Sandeep Patil, there is only one all-rounder who I would choose – Kapil Dev, for the bowler, I would like to see BS Chandrashekhar play in the T20 format, because his bowling action was not suited only for test cricket, but one day cricket and T20 cricket would also be easy for him," he said.
