'In times of more money and quick fame, mentoring youngsters is crucial' Indianexpress,


While taking a trip down memory lane during the inaugural Dilip Sardesai lecture on
Thursday, Sunil Gavaskar touched upon some contemporary issues that the game is
grappling with.
Speaking about the influence the late Sardesai had on him during his playing days,
Gavaskar stressed that there was a urgent need to mentor present-day cricketers,
particularly in the highly lucrative age of Twenty20. Sardesai had helped a young Gavaskar
demystify the West Indian quicks during the historic 1971 tour, and the former India
captain said today's cricketers needed advice to deal with the opportunities that offered
them quick money.
