Sunil Gavaskar was the first batsman to get to 10,000 runs and Sachin Tendulkar was the first to get to 12,000. Indian news channel CNN-IBN got the two together to talk about run-scoring, landmarks and the different schools of batting.
Tendulkar: I am always happy and never satisfied; I would say my favorite innings would be in 1992 against Australia when I scored 100 in Perth and that is when I felt that, yes, now I am here to play cricket anywhere in the world, any bowling attack I am confident enough to tackle them.
Gavaskar: It was the innings of 57, the one at Old Trafford against England, I had never played on the green pitch, and it was a green pitch there was good seam bowling, there was a bit of a drizzle which was freshening the pitch and you couldn’t go off the field because of the drizzle, so I would imagine that was the best.
