MUMBAI: Batting legend Sunil Gavaskar has mentioned that he'll no longer attend Pakistan’s World Cup-winning captain Imran Khan’s oath-taking ceremony as the PM on August 18. Imran has also invited former India cricketers Kapil Dev and Navjot Singh Sidhu for the function. Both, it’s learnt, have accredited Imran’s invitation and are waiting for government’s clearance to head for the development.
Imran and Gavaskar confronted each different on the cricket flooring a number of occasions all over the 1980s and 90s as the captains of their respective groups, and feature been excellent pals through the years. Speaking to ‘India Today’, Gavaskar showed that he had spoken to Khan, who had invited him for his oath-taking. “Yes, I did speak to Imran. He used to be enquiring if I’d have the ability to make it. I instructed him that because of my remark commitments, I will no longer be ready to do so. But my perfect needs are with him,” he mentioned.
Apparently, Gavaskar has a contractual dedication with Sony Pictures Network India, which is telecasting the continued India-England collection. After the Lord’s Test, he'll be in England for the ultimate three Tests to be played at Trent Bridge, The Ageas Bowl and The Oval. “I’ve known him for plenty of years. It’s a huge moment for the cricketing fraternity that certainly one of them has long gone directly to become the PM of a country, so I wish him very well,” Gavaskar mentioned.
“He is the one PM (of Pakistan) who has in reality spent a large number of time in India. He is almost definitely the one Pakistani after partition who has been to India a number of occasions, has met with the common man with the exception of all the dignitaries and subsequently understands India higher than every other Pakistan PM. Therefore, I’m hoping that with that roughly working out, he'll have an outlook against India most likely different from the other PM,” he mentioned.
Meanwhile, Kapil Dev and Navjot Singh Sidhu have accredited Imran’s invitation to wait his oath-taking. Sidhu, these days a Punjab minister, has more than three decades of association with Imran as a cricketer and commentator. The former India opener mentioned that he gained the invite in non-public capability. “Khan Saab even called me up, inviting for the development on Friday,” Sidhu instructed TOI.
