Prodded a bit and the son of the legendary Sunil Gavaskar said, "The kid should be left alone, let him enjoy his cricket.u00a0

"I have spoken to Sachin, I have spoken to Anjali (Tendulkar) about it. This is not fair on them."

While his father is considered to be one of India's finest ever batsman, the 37-year-old Rohan couldn't really reach those dizzy heights during a cricket career spanning over a decade and a half. Rohan played in 11 One-day internationals, with 54 being his best. With 6938 runs and 18 centuries in 117 matches, his first-class record stands a lot better. He had also captained Bengal for two seasons. Gavaskar had retired from first-class cricket last year.

Now a cricket commentator, Rohan shared the box with his father during the current ODI series against Australia, against whom he made his One-day debut in January 2004.

Knowing well that constant comparison could be a problem, Rohan doesn't want Arjun to be weighed on the same scale as his legendary father when he grows up. Arjun, who bats left-handed, had scored a century in the Mumbai Cricket Association's Under-14 selection trials in May last year.
