I saw Sunil Gavaskar batting for five days, saw Kapil Dev bowling for most days of the Test match. Kapil used to bowl a lot on the nets too, he never demanded a break and did not complain for more than 16 years. Had landed in the Test match.

Patil said, “There was no rehab program in our time, we used to play despite injuries. I would say that we used to get happiness by playing for the country, no drama.”
