Batting legend Sunil Gavaskar said he was willing to step in as president of the Indian cricket board Thursday after the Supreme Court recommended he take over from embattled incumbent N. Srinivasan.
"There is nothing that you can do if the Supreme Court – the highest court – asks you to do something, that's it," the retired opening batsman, who is now a television commentator, told the NDTV network .
"The fact that I am contracted to the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) to do TV commentary has to be put on record. After that if the honourable Supreme Court tells you to do something, then of course ... if they ask me to do something, I will do it.
"As an opening batsman, you must be ready for all kinds of challenges. I will do everything to the best of my abilities. If the highest court is reposing this faith in me, I'll be very happy to do what they ask me to do."
