The legendary opener has always been very touchy about how players treat their jerseys and caps.
While the question asked by the scribe was "justified", Gavaskar felt maybe the timing was wrong.
Gavaskar, once a teammate and captain of Shastri, recalled some of the series wins abroad by Indian teams of the past.
Kohli overtakes Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar (120 Innings), Virender Sehwag (121 Innings) and Rahul Dravid (125 Innings), to become the second fastest Indian.
Gavaskar feels Bumrah should learn from his mistakes as it was not the first time the pacer has picked up a wicket on an illegal delivery.
Former stumper Farokh Engineer believes that the India skipper has the potential to be the greatest batsman produced by the country.
On IndiaTV's show 'Cricket ki Baat', Virender Sehwag said that the two greats would feel very happy if Kohli goes on to break their records on the current England tour.
India trail 1-0 in the five-match series, but Gavaskar termed the visitor's slow starters and expressed optimism that they could make a comeback.
In recent times, all-rounder Hardik Pandya has been compared to 1983 World Cup winner Kapil Dev but legendary batsman, Sunil Gavaskar, was not at all amused when asked about the two's comparison.
Gavaskar, along with former Indian skipper Kapil Dev have been invited to attend the oath-taking ceremony of Imran Khan, who led Pakistan to its maiden World Cup title in 1992.
Gavaskar said lack of serious practice ahead of the Birmingham game hurt India dearly as batsmen's poor technique against moving deliveries was thoroughly exposed.
In his auto-biography, Gavaskar stated that if no one had spotted him, he would have been toiling somewhere along the west coast.
Sunil Gavaskar is the world's first batsman to score 10,000 runs and 30 centuries in Test cricket.
Citing his own example, Sunil Gavaskar stressed the importance of club cricket and called it "life and soul" of the sport.
As per Kohli's nomination for Khel Ratna, it has been learnt that BCCI has nominated the Indian captain him for the second time.
Shivangi Joshi was in Kolkata for Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challenger Bangalore's IPL match.
On behalf of the ICC, ICC Cricket Hall of Famers India's Sunil Gavaskar and Graeme Pollock of South Africa will present the award to Kohli after the 3rd T20I vs South Africa.
The India captain's next chance to gain more points will be either the one-off Test against Afghanistan in June or the five-Test series against England in August/September.
The New Wanderers stadium in Johannesburg has become a battleground as the wicket is now being termed as 'spicy' after many batsmen suffered major blows to their body in the ongoing 3rd Test.
Pollock compared the Wanderers pitch with the Nagpur wicket of 2015 which was rated "poor" by the ICC when South Africa toured India.
