"If They Dislocate Their Shoulder...": On IPL Star, Sunil Gavaskar's "Careers Are In Threat" Warning

Sunil Gavaskar is one Indian cricket team great who had a gift with the bat and has a gift of the gab too. With the bat he was one of the most polished batter and in the commentary panel the former Indian cricket team captain, Gavaskar is known to be telling the hard truth. So, when Gavaskar speaks one listens. Just like he can seen rebuking a player, Gavaskar also praises the good performers. On Wednesday, after Gujarat Titans' last ball win over Rajasthan Royals, Gavaskar had a special praise for one of the winner's star performers

Rashid Khan's commitment towards all aspects of the game, including the willingness to put his body on the line, makes him one of the most sought-after players in T20 leagues across the globe, feels the legendary Sunil Gavaskar. Needing 15 in the final over and two off the last ball, Gujarat Titans scripted a sensational last-ball win with the Afghan leg-spinner hitting an unbeaten 24 off 11 deliveries. He also took one wicket, giving away just 18 runs in his four overs.

"Yeah, he didn't hit the wickets like he usually does, but when he was needed with the bat he came and delivered," Gavaskar said on 'Star Sports Cricket Live'.

"This is the reason he's such a wanted player by franchises all around the world. They want him because they can see his commitment, batting, bowling and fielding," he said.

Apart from his batting and bowling, Rashid is an agile fielder who never shies away from attempting a risky dive.

"Look at the way he gives everything while he's fielding. Bowlers sometimes can be a little concerned about diving on their bowling shoulder, because if they dislocate their shoulder careers are in threat. Not with Rashid Khan, he just wants to give 100 per cent."
