Just back from England where he did commentary for the ICC World T20, batting legend Sunil Gavaskar will deliver the inaugural Dilip Sardesai Memorial Cricket Lecture hosted by the Cricket Club of India this evening.
When MiD DAY spoke to Gavaskar last night, he said he had not decided the subject of the lecture. But knowing his intellectual and forthright ways, Mumbai's cricketing fraternity can expect a wholesome talk which could also have some controversy and humour thrown in.
Gavaskar also delivered the annual Colin Cowdrey Lecture six Julys ago at Lord's and he started off by saying, "Namaste Mr President, ladies and gentlemen. There may be some among you who on receiving the invitation to this evening's lecture must have seen who was going to speak and said 'Oh! Yeah! Only if he is allowed through the gate!' "

"It is something that we must all endeavour to do and it is achievable if we work sincerely towards it. I am confident that we can do it and when and not if we do it, then Colin sitting up there with the gods will smile and say 'Well done, chaps u2013 that's the spirit'."
Sardesai, a teammate of Gavaskar for Mumbai and India, passed away on July 2, 2007.
