Dubai: India’s former captain and legendary batsman Sunil Gavaskar has been inducted into the International Cricket Council’s Hall of Fame.
Gavaskar was presented the Hall of Fame cap by former Indian captain Kapil Dev in the presence of Haroon Lorgat, the ICC chief executive at a function held at the residence of Ajay Sethi, at the director of Channel 2 Group on Wednesday night.
This award coming from the body that runs the game is a tremendous honour as ICC is also the custodian of the game
Speaking exclusively to Gulf News after receiving the award, Gavaskar said: “This award coming from the body that runs the game is a tremendous honour as ICC is also the custodian of the game. It makes you feel that all the effort you put in has been worthwhile. At the end of the day it is a select sort of body that selects you into the Hall of Fame so therefore certainly you feel fulfilled, you also feel humbled by the fact that so many of your pears feel you are good enough.”
