A slip of the tongue landed commentator James Brayshaw in hassle when he launched Sunil Gavaskar as Sachin Tendulkar throughout a channel’s commentary for the third Test between Australia and India.
Brayshaw was within the internet hosting chair for Channel 7, nearing the tip of the Indian innings, when he launched fellow commentators Gavaskar and Damien Fleming. Brayshaw welcomed Gavaskar to the present however known as him Sachin Tendulkar.
Gavaskar took the dialog in his stride. Here is part of the trade:
Brayshaw: “Sachin Tendulkar, welcome, and also Damien Fleming.”
Fleming: “Sachin Tendulkar’s in the commentary box?”
Brayshaw: “We have been simply speaking …
Fleming: “[This is] the great man, the little master.”
Brayshaw: “My apologies Sunil, we were just talking about him a second ago.”
Gavaskar: “I am flattered, I am flattered to be called Sachin Tendulkar.”
Brayshaw: “We were just talking about him a second ago.”
Fleming added: “We share a birthday Sachin, the 24th of April”, to which Gavaskar quipped “not the same year though”.

Brayshaw: “Suni, we can share with the audience why we were talking about Sachin Tendulkar,” Brayshaw stated. “I asked you, I said ‘Is he the most loved Indian cricketer of all time?’ There have been a few, yourself included.”
Gavaskar: “I think so. I think amongst the cricket followers, if you look at Dhoni, Kapil Dev, Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar they are all loved by millions and millions of not just Indians, but other nationalities as well. I would imagine in India it would be perhaps Sachin Tendulkar.”
While Gavaskar is a well known cricketer and now commentator in India, Tendulkar is likely one of the hottest cricketers recognised within the sport of cricket. Former Indian skipper Gavaskar was the primary man to attain 10,000 Test runs in addition to essentially the most Test centuries — each data which at the moment are held by Tendulkar.
