Mr Gavaskar's contributions to Indian cricket,in general,and Indian batting in particular, have been vital to laying the foundation to the rise of India as a cricketing powerhouse.hats off to the hero who inspired the Fab 5
The best Indian test batsman by a country mile. He record was achieved on a different planet which had Lillee, Thompson, Pascoe, Imran, Hadlee, Willis, and the West Indian speedsters.
There is no one else in the history of world cricket who could even touch even the little finger of the feet of SUNNY, as he was the only warrior who battle alone against the most dangerous pace bowling attack, like robbert, holding, garner, lily, Thompson, imran, haidlee wilis and many others. You could make easily the equation as below: Sunny gavaskar = 10 Sachin Tendulkar = 10,000 Virat Kohali= 100000 other cricketer.
In 1971 Windies commentrator Gary Cosier said 'when Gavaskar goed forward in defence , bat and pad are together, so close that a ray of light can pas in between' 'Short of length, rising delivery and Gavaskar jumps on the back foot, right on the top of ball'.
The interviewer anchor person is decent but unfortunately he doesn't seems to have proper study of era career of great Sunil gavaskar ,if he is young and not seen gavaskar playing then he should do study of player or can talk with senior people who know history of gavaskar .. it is great respect of any anchor to get a golden chance to take interview of Sunil gavaskar.. for people like us who have seen his most great innings it's hurting that the interviewer is not having proper knowledge of career of Sunil gavaskar, such interview as should be taken by a senior person so that viewers can enjoy it as he will ask many things to this great player which we want to ask .
Neither tendulkar or virat face the quality bowling wch sunil gavaskar has faced ever till date bcoz I had seen all three batsman batting by far the best sunny gavaskar
Gavaskar has faced dangerous west indies fast bowlers which Sachin has not done . Gavaskar is better than Sachin and Also those days they were paid very less. And actually Gavaskar and Kapil team enjoyed playing and they gave their best
Sunil gavaskar sir k vajahase bharat ki pahachan hai 1971 se 1987 tak west Indies k pass marshal, garner, ambrose jaise tagade bollers k samane khelkar gavaskar sir ne13 century mara hai, emraim khan, leely, pasko, snow, bobwillis, rechard hadally jaise bollers k khilap gavaskar sir without halmet khele hai esime unaki mahanata dikhai deti hai, aaj test cricket me odi me bahot logone ten thousand se jada runs nikale magar duniya me test cricket me pehele bar ten thousand runs nikalne wale gavaskar sir hai, gavaskar sir mai aapako khule dilase naman karta hu, aapne jo bharatiy cricket ki seva ki hai usake prati bhi mai aapako naman karta hu. Jai Bharat!
In his first 60 tests sunil gavaskar scored 20 centuries at an average of 60 plus. I remember an ad on the back of an indrajal comic which had gavaskar with a punch line " the feathertouch operation of a run machine". It was a shaving blade ad i think. Controversy also hounded him at times in 1984 when media said he is jealous of kapil dev....and in 1992 when he backed pakistan to win worldcup even when pakistan was losing its first round of matches.
Vikrant kyo swaal pooch raha tha.... Gavaskar Sir ne sahi bola kapil paji is the legend born in century...how he can be compare with pandaya....useless or manufacturing words by Vikrant to make it sensalize...bcoz he may knew what reaction he will get when he compares kapil Sir with Pandya..
मुंबई तक , दिल्ली तक , चेनई तक , हैदराबाद तक , बेंगलुरु तक , सूरत तक , पुणे तक , कोलकाता तक , भुबनेश्वर तक , रायपुर तक , चंडीगढ़ तक और कुछ बाकी रह गया है ।
Pls do not compare.., legends in different eras... SG Himself said... do not compare. Hardik to Kapilda,,, he never ment HP is negative... see ... if Raje Shivaji .,, agar AK 47 se les hote to... Itihas alag hota.. just like that... what he did is different ... without any helmet.., was not great then .,. but ..,. now.,, its... History ... history now... can elaborate more..... but....,
Gavaskar is being in denial now but there was a jjjjlousy in his mind towards Kapil.Which got even more intense when Kapil was made Captain replacing him.And then Kapil won 1st WC for us.Gavaskar was responsible for Kapil getting dropped in 84 from team for no reason.
