Talking to 7Cricket, former India skipper Sunil Gavaskar revealed untold stories of his rivalry with Allan Border.

Gavaskar was asked whether he and Border still share the same intensity in their rivalry, despite their friendship off the field.

He replies with a smile, "Well, because he's (Border) got me out, that's the problem. You see, he's got me out. I never got a chance to bowl to him. If I got a chance to bowl to him and get him out it might have been different. But you know he's a little, you know, things that you know, used to come in and do this and bowl. And can you imagine he got one ball to turn, and I played that down the wrong line, top edge and I was out."

In 20 Test matches against India, Border took 4 wickets and one of them was Gavaskar.

He continues, "So you know, I am reminded of it every time I bump into him. He comes and says 'Hello Bunny, how are you?' What do I say to that?"
