Unlike his father Sunil Gavaskar, Rohan Gavaskar is not much a familiar name in terms of Cricket. He made a too little to be noticed kind of appearances in International cricket. However, his cricketing career has never lifted off but he has remained in the cricketing fraternity as a regular for Bengal in the Ranji Trophy and later as a commentator.
Now, after a while, his picture along with ace cricketers Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar on Twitter is going viral for various reasons. Rohan even gave an epic caption to the picture which garnered massive attention from social media and all corners of other platforms.
He wrote, “India’s greatest openers. Tendulkar, Gavaskar, Sehwag. Two at cricket. One at bottles”. Check out his tweet here:

Coming to the career front, Gavaskar has managed to make 11 appearances in Indian National team. All these appearances came in 2004 under the captaincy of Sourav Ganguly in two ODI series in Australia and the Netherlands. He scored his only international half-century against Zimbabwe in Adelaide. It was one of the factors that helped India win the match, along with VVS Laxman’s 100, Rahul Dravid’s 50 and Ajit Agarkar three-wicket haul.
His father Sunil Gavaskar was on the commentary team at the time. But chances never were easy to get for the younger Gavaskar and his participation in the rebel Indian Cricket League, all that ended within few years. He earlier captained Bengal in the Ranji Trophy.
Post the retirement from the International cricket, he has occasionally done commentary in international matches too. It was recently reported that he would be media director to one of the teams that were slated to participate in South Africa’s T20 Global League.
