One can not imagine Sachin walking off with his batting partner after being annoyed at a decision by the umpire, a la Gavaskar at Melbourne in 1981. There is a silent strength in Sachin's demeanor that accentuates his tendency to let the bat do the talking. Gavaskar had a bit of a cheeky, pugnacious streak in him and it seemed like he wouldn't hesitate to take on a Malcolm Marshall or a Sarfraj Nawaz with more than just the bat, if pushed to the edge.
