"Playing for India" was the driving force behind the players taking the tour Holland seriously and returning expectedly on a successful note. As it turned out, the team, especially Rohan Gavaskar, took the cricket seriously and came out with flying colours. For long, the talented Rohan Gavaskar was said to win the nod of the selectors because he happened to be the son of a famous father. The left-hander's excellent form on the Holland tour set to rest all such uncharitable talk about his calibre. According to the young Gavaskar, though the main job of a batsman is to score runs, he must also remain consistent. And he proved this to a great extent throughout the tour. Rohan being a left-handed batsman is more attacking than his father was, and is fairly strong on both sides of the wicket, his specialities being the lofted shot through mid-wicket. What remains to be seen is whether he can attempt to scale the heights of glory that his father reached.
