Tahir Raj Bhasin, who will be seen essaying the role of the 'Little Master' Sunil Gavaskar in the film 83 feels it is a huge responsibility to play the cricketing legend. "It is indeed a huge responsibility to play Sunil Gavaskar on screen and I definitely want to pass this test by convincing everyone that they are seeing the legend on screen and not me," Bhasin said.

He has not limited his cricket practice to merely the field but is going beyond and focusing on the icon's special shots. "To achieve this, my on-field practice is designed beyond playing good cricket and is targeted towards playing specific shots in Gavaskar's style. My time in the nets is being treated like physical choreography for the character," the actor explained.
