Legendary Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar is popularly known as Little Master across the globe. Recently, Pakistan captain Babar Azam met him for valuable batting tips.

Babar met the cricket legend at a private dinner in Brisbane ahead of the warm-up game against England. Gavaskar, who is part of the commentary panel for the ongoing T20 World Cup in Australia, presented Babar with a ‘Sunny Cap’ signed on his birthday.

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has shared the video on Twitter. Pakistan’s batting coach Mohammed Yousuf and spin consultant Saqlain Mushtaq could be found in the video along with them. The 73-year-old former great also shared some insightful tips on batting with Babar.

Babar greeted the former India skipper, while Gavaskar wished him ‘Happy Birthday’.

In the clip, Gavaskar was heard telling Babar, “Shot selection acchi ho toh koi problem nehi (If the shot selection is good then there is no problem at all). Situation ke hisaab se shot selection karein, koi problem nehi (shot selection should be as per the situation).”

PCB also shared another video in which Mohammed Shami can be found greeting Pakistan pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi in the nets ahead of their warm-up games.
