Mumbai: The cliched "glorious uncertainties" in the game of cricket came to the fore yet again yesterday - in the Supreme Court of all places - where a bench headed by Justice A K Patnaik put forward batting legend Sunil Gavaskar's name as a candidate to take over as president of the Indian cricket board from N Srinivasan. (Will not stop IPL 7, Sunil Gavaskar in charge: Supreme Court)
The manner in which Gavaskar came up for discussion in the court hearing of the spot fixing case was most remarkable. Senior counsel and Bihar Cricket Association lawyer Harish Salve, who reportedly accused India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni of being economical with the truth to the Mudgal probe panel, stressed the point that several great players like Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly Anil Kumble and Rahul Dravid deposed before the panel.

Big name
There is a possibility of Gavaskar not getting the highest seat in the BCCI and probably the batting icon knows that. "I will consider it. It will be a huge honour that Supreme Court feels I will be good enough to do the job. But we will have to wait and watch until tomorrow in which direction it goes. Let's not jump the gun," Gavaskar told NDTV.
