Miandad believes that Gavaskar's immaculate defence and balance while standing at barely 5 feet 5 inches against hefty fast bowlers are lessons that can be learnt
Their on-field banter, sometimes playful and at other times bitter, was a part of Indo-Pak cricketing folklore but when it came to respect, Javed Miandad always had the highest regards for Sunil Gavaskar's unflappable temperament and near-perfect technique against fastest bowlers of his time.
Miandad feels that current players should watch video clips of Gavaskar's batting to know how he tackled some of the world's most fearsome fast bowlers like Michael Holding, Andy Roberts, Malcolm Marshall, Imran Khan, Richard Hadlee, Dennis Lillee among others.
"It was amazing that given his short height, how well he played all over the world. His consistency and performances are remarkable," Miandad said in a video released by the Pakistan Cricket Board.
Miandad believes that Gavaskar's immaculate defence and balance while standing at barely 5 feet 5 inches against hefty fast bowlers are lessons that can be learnt.
