no doubt it is Gundappa for his sheer elegance and the artistry. he was harmful to the bowler but harmless to the ball. He wud just change the direction of the ball gently gliding it. Many have spoken abt his square cut or drive.but they are blind. His late cut and leg glance are the most difficult strokes and no one has played it for the last 40 years. Vishy shud be known for fine leg glances and late cuts more
Agree but Great comment of Gavaskar with most honest intellectuality against each and every legends in the game of cricket home 😊or abroad turns him the Greatest of all .!
He should hv easily played for another 3 yrs ...In his last Pakisthan series he was given out 3 times ..when he was not out ..Alas this 3rd Umpire and Review would hv been there
Yes for sure, For some who don’t really know Vishi who never care whom vishi likes. And that’s one and only one Sunil Gavaskar because no one can have that perfection about the bating.🙏
There is no comparison to VISHY LEGEND CRICKETER HE NEVER PLAYED FOR MONEY HE PLAYED FOR COUNTRY. TO DAYS PLAYERS ARE WORST USELESS FELLOWS. HE WAS A CREATER OF STROKES. NO COPY BOOK STYLE LIKE OTHER PLAYERS. " VISHWA" THE INVENTOR OF STYLISH LATE CUT. TODAYS PLAYERS DOESNT KNOW ABOUT LATE CUT
Vishy the most artistic batsmen India has ever produced his footwork was as good a Ballet dancer any day better than Gavaskar since he was from Karnataka he was given a rawdeal
I would hazard a guess that an average in the 40’s through the 70’s, taking in to consideration inflation 😜 and the improvements in the game today (technology, equipment, playing conditions, reduced super stars and so on) that today his average is easily worth 60+!!
I might enjoy aggressive brutish stroke play in today's times but deep down i also enjoy the elegance of old school Batting style where flick of wrists combined with superb timing sent the ball speeding towards the boundaries ❤😅. And no these guys didn't have leather ball murdering willows with thick edges and bulging sweet spots . Just pure technique was enough to do the job 😎😌. I have seen old folks from dad's generation talk about who was better sunny or vishy , now i can clearly say that Vishy was better even if he didn't have appetite for runs like Sunny 😅. I would love to see some more videos on old school legends who made Batting look elegant and classy like Azaruddin , vvs laxman,Dravid, Yuvi ( the last batsman to have old school elegance which was beautifully mixed with brute force of modern batsman) and many more. Please make it happen 🙌.
many think Vishwanath's best innings was his 97 not out in Chennai in 1975 No, it is thoroughly wrong. It was very ordinary when u compare it with his 124 against windies in Chennai in 1979 the differences 1. Gavaskar didnt play in the 1975 match 2. Gavaskar also played the 1979 match 3. 1975 pitch was only fast, but the 1979 Chepauk pitch was just horribly under prepared. Sylvester Clarke and Norbert Philip were faster than Andy Roberts and both cud kick the ball from good length. Gavaskar failed in both the innings, exposing his weakness against sheer pace on a wicked wicket. he was happy to be out soon in both the innings to escape body blow But Vishy ? - stood like a rock, tamed both the quickies and scored a bold manly innings of 124, without helmet, arm guard or chest guard I bet - Virat Kohli orTendulkar could not have scored even5 runs or survive a full over of those devils on that deadly pitch even with helmets That is Vishy for you
@@lakshminarayanprasanna3657Even in the second innings he scored the highest. A small fourth innings target india faltered and won very narrowly thanks to Vishy's innings and Kapil's short but sweet innings. I was fortunate to see the full match live. 2 other superb knocks were in that match 98 by Alvin Kallicharan and 91 in the second innings by Larry Gomes
Rubbish and it is hurting me as I have been following Vishy even before Suni gavaskar knew him and you can ask Vishy himself. He always says I am his most vocal fanatic for the past 54 years. I have hugged him on the ground, on the pitch on many occassions, including that epic 97 not out. I used to beg, borrow or steal to see him play anywhere in India - Bangalore, Chennai, Bombay and Delhi
@@CricketStories007 thank you bro not like other RUclips cricket channel you reply for the comment quickly I am a huge cricket fan I think how to know about these legends and I see your videos and liked so much because you telling truth especially in Don Bradman video I follow your videos regularly
drvd no1 zattoo batsman of indian criket, who played only against weak teams. his record is not at all up to the mark, against toughest bowling attack and world class feilding mighty teams like Safrica Australia and Srilanka. sunny, kohli, sachin the best batsmen so far far far better than vishwnath undoubtedly and unarguably. even sewag, vengsarkar, yuvraj and many better than caliber of vishi.
shows a pic of Duleep Mendis as Vish early on, and then has visuals of some ground in Australia for Vishy's debut 100 in Kanpur....first learn video editing
@hemantdeshpande7185 ji it's not about north or south. The discussion is about who was a better batsman. Vishy was stylish and the rate of scoring was much better
He's a shade below Doug Walters who played in the same era.They both don't cut it as greats (like Gavaskar or Greg Chappell) because Walters failed in England and Viswanath struggled overseas,36.31 against 47.32 in India.
Both sunny and vishy were equally slow and useless . Average of 25 in one days and avg of 35 in tests . Such useless players survived only through contacts and nepotism. Today such players won’t make it to even kanga league😂
@ But were these players good even by standards of those times ? Sobers gooch misndad lyod Richards , many were better than them ? So what kind of useless players are we praising ? Is my main point . And Kishore Kumar used to say that Sehgal wud be relevant even with his nasal drawl , why ? simply bcoz he was that great . Don’t think that sunny vishy were great even by those time’s standards
@ 13 centuries against mighty WI attack was not worthy??? The present day cricket‘s kind of bats, pitchs and overall infrastructure and all those mediocre newly inducted teams with below average bowler's. Just imagine if Sunny & Vishy would have played against them, then the number of runs, centuries n records...it might have been a different story. Just accept the reality, their contribution n greatness
Sachin has 50 centuries in 400 one days . And sunny has 1 century in 108 one days . Just see how useless sunny was as an opener ?? Sunny survived due to connections . Infact his place remained reserved for a long time in the side causing huge damage to India’s performances. He was mediocre

Hey Cricket Lovers🏏, who do you think had more impact on Indian Cricket? Gundappa Vishwanath or Sunil Gavaskar?
Gundappa Vishwanath
no doubt it is Gundappa for his sheer elegance and the artistry. he was harmful to the bowler but harmless to the ball. He wud just change the direction of the ball gently gliding it.
Many have spoken abt his square cut or drive.but they are blind. His late cut and leg glance are the most difficult strokes and no one has played it for the last 40 years.
Vishy shud be known for fine leg glances and late cuts more
Vishy
He always stood when it mattered the most
Exactly
Agree but Great comment of Gavaskar with most honest intellectuality against each and every legends in the game of cricket home 😊or abroad turns him the Greatest of all .!
Gundappa Vishwanath is called 'Wizard of Willow'!!!
Exactly 💯
He should hv easily played for another 3 yrs ...In his last Pakisthan series he was given out 3 times ..when he was not out ..Alas this 3rd Umpire and Review would hv been there
Greatest Indian batsman
One of the best 🔥
Vishy the craftsman of cricket
Yes
Ofcourse Vishwanath is the greatest of all the times, Stylish & Super batsman forever 🎉
Yess
Vishy❤❤❤❤
Yes for sure,
For some who don’t really know Vishi who never care whom vishi likes.
And that’s one and only one Sunil Gavaskar because no one can have that perfection about the bating.🙏
There is no comparison to VISHY
LEGEND CRICKETER
HE NEVER PLAYED FOR MONEY
HE PLAYED FOR COUNTRY.
TO DAYS PLAYERS ARE WORST
USELESS FELLOWS.
HE WAS A CREATER OF STROKES.
NO COPY BOOK STYLE LIKE OTHER PLAYERS.
" VISHWA" THE INVENTOR OF STYLISH LATE CUT.
TODAYS PLAYERS DOESNT KNOW ABOUT LATE CUT
Politics spoiled great star vishwanath, gem of indian cricket
Sunil was best solid opener and stubborn player. Gundappa polite humble people liking the best batsman
Gavaskar was not an alcoholic & thoroughly professional
He Was Indeed Great 👍🏼 🎉🎉 If Not Greater Than Sunil Gavaskar ❤ 🎉 😊 😊
We should not compare both ..bcz Sunny was the opener and Vishy in Middle gave strong grounding 2 Indian Batting 😊
Vishing him the best💐
Vishy the most artistic batsmen India has ever produced his footwork was as good a Ballet dancer any day better than Gavaskar since he was from Karnataka he was given a rawdeal
Cricket politics Forcefully ended vishwanath career
He was in decline
I would hazard a guess that an average in the 40’s through the 70’s, taking in to consideration inflation 😜 and the improvements in the game today (technology, equipment, playing conditions, reduced super stars and so on) that today his average is easily worth 60+!!

Sure man, will surely work on them. BTW, I have already made a video on Rahul Dravid. You can check that out
VISWANATH WAS THE SUBLIME BATSMAN SHIP. SUNEEEL GAVASAKAR WAS MASTER CRAFTSMAN.

That is Vishy for you
100% true sir
@ 1:00 It's not Vishy but Duleep Mendis.
@@artherkishore5067 - you are correct sir, since I know every hair of vishy

@@t.s.satyanarayanan8344 - You are absolutely right. I saw the match and congratulated my vishy personally after a few days
Vishwanath is a brother in law of Suni gavaskar
Why does Duleep Mendis, Sri Lankan batsman..keeps appearing as Vishy😂😂
Vishi was the best matured batsman above all. No one comes near to him. Na Bottho na Bhavashyati
🔥🔥
Perhaps the greatest fan of the great Gundappa was the great Sunil Gavaskar.
Yeah💯
Rubbish and it is hurting me as I have been following Vishy even before Suni gavaskar knew him

Got a request for ya: How good was Shane Warne??
Sure man.🔥
I regret that I never had the chance to watch him play.
Exactly
😊
😍
Yes. Very much better than SMG
Though Sunil G. was not from the South , he was better 😅 . Wishy was a poem and Sunil was an essay .
@hemantdeshpande7185 ji it's not about north or south. The discussion is about who was a better batsman. Vishy was stylish and the rate of scoring was much better
Wrist player
yeah!
Both are different. NO doubt Gavaskar was better than Vishwanath
The difference between them was Gavaskar had an amazing temperament which Vishy didn't have.
He was good but not great.His best years were 1978 and 1979 when the best players were playing WSC which inflates his average by 2 to 3 runs.
India always won whenever he scored a century.
He was one of the best Indian batters of his time.
He's a shade below Doug Walters who played in the same era.They both don't cut it as greats (like Gavaskar or Greg Chappell) because Walters failed in England and Viswanath struggled overseas,36.31 against 47.32 in India.
@@yellowNredThat's not right. India never lost a test match when vishy scored a century. There were drawn matches also inwhich he scored a century.
Both sunny and vishy were equally slow and useless . Average of 25 in one days and avg of 35 in tests . Such useless players survived only through contacts and nepotism. Today such players won’t make it to even kanga league😂

There were many who hit similar centuries , what’s so great abt that ?
