- Even while playing cricket as a kid, Sunil Gavaskar batted for so long that his friends used to lie about him being out or tell him that it's somebody else's turn to bat. It was because of his great gameplay that India won a Test series against the West Indies for the first time in 1971. To know more about the legendary opening batsman, watch Mid Wicket Tales With Naseeruddin Shah.

Birth year is 1949...not 1939....introduction is wrong..
WEST INDIES LEGENDS SAY THAT SUNIL GAVASKAR HAS SCORED ALL RUNS AGAINST FAST BATTERY OF BALLING . HAD AT THAT TIME SUNIL GAVASKAR BEEN IN WI TEAM THEN HIS BATTING RECORDS WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT. HE IS A TRUE LEGEND OF CRICKETING WORLD.
It's a fantastic performance. But the West Indian attack was one of the weakest bowling line ups in their history. He may have scored against a better attack as well. Gavaskar went on to become the greatest opening batsman of all time. Indians can be very proud of him.

774 Runs in 4 matches against West Indies in West Indies against world's deadly bowlers in debut series is extra odrinary performance . 🙏👌
in that series wi pace attack was not the one you are thinking. wi pace attack came in 70s around 76 77 ....that was the debut series of gavaskar against sobers weak team 1971
@@hiteshkumar-dq3pp u are partly righ but gavaskar scored more runs against those deadly attack.his highest 236 no came against marshall roberts holding etc
Gavaskar’s great feat was when India toured Pakistan he scored loads of runs against Imran, Sarfraz in Pakistan with centuries in each innings which he has done more than once. Sachin has never accomplished this feat.
in trinidad they have songs on gavaskar for this series... if you go to maracas beach, you can hear people singing it on guitar
Think it was 771 runs in 3-1/2 Test innings just like Steve Smith '2019 series only SMG was a rookie and Steve came off w/life threatening (replica of his team mate Hugh fatal blow behind the neck from 2014). Only Steve came back w/vwengence and got out 3 or 4 times only when he chose to get out!
774 in debut series...Just unbelievable extraordinary batting stats 😮😮
When Gavaskar played, he faced the best fast bowling attack ever in the history of cricket. Even spin legends of that time used to worry about his wicket. Now imagine this....he faced Marshall, Goel Garner, Jeff Thompson, Denis Lillie, Andy Roberts, Imran Khan, Richard Hadley...without any helmets, just with scull guard. I am not demeaning anyone but, imagine this in today’s scenario with this so called good batsmen !
Bhayanak hai bina helmet ky 140-50 ky bowler ko khelna, suicide hai
That was his technique. Truly the greatest batsman India has produced I would say. Yes, towards the end of his career and afterwards I feel he did indulge in some politics, but as a batsman, he's above everyone else.
@@ayushchaudhary2273 you are praising gavaskar artificially keeping in inner mind that tendulkar and kohli faced best bowlers ! , but to show how you are admiring someone to increase personal image performance ! . To keep you out of your drunk mind I want to explain that the bowlers speed at first had been measured at batsman end means akhtar or lee speed of 160 km/hr is just as 128 km/ hr at batsman end because today speed is measured at bowlers end ! . Thommo maxspeed can be 185 km/ hr at bowlers end very easily before his injury ! , also gavaskar faced natural pitching alongwith rules and regulations in bowlers sake ! , he experienced long boundries ! . Main factor is that very few but real legends in the cricket world have known that gavaskar had all abilities of batting without any shortcomings in it , 🤗☝️🍌🍊🐕😁🐒 ! ! .
He is a legend and it's foolishness to compare him with the modern cricket batsmen. He could have still played for another 5 years when he retired in 1987. He faced the world's most fearsome fast bowling without a helmet. He is undoubtedly one of the the best batsman in the world. So much of cricket as its being played now a days, he would have crossed 25000 runs. He is a legend
At the prime of his career he played only few tests as test series were not conducted as frequently as today. When he reached 30 years of age he played only 50 tests... in that 50 tests he scored 20 centuries including 3 doubles...truly bradmanseque... had he played more tests at the peak of his career like modern batsman do, nobody would have touched his statistics.
West Indies bowlers tried to bounce him out on many occassions. But soon gave up because they realized it was a futile exercise. Gavaskar being very short (5.5") could duck under the ball or weave out of the way very easily and once the bowlers got tired he would just whack them with precise timing and proper technique. He was a very good and technically correct batsman. He was the real Little Master or Maestro. Other one is duplicate flat track bully. Only draw back I ever found was his obstinate nature like the incident in Austratali when he threatened to boycott the test when given out LBW by the umpire.
U mean 1992 tak i.e. till 43 yrs age.!!!!!!!! People don't play cricket till 43!!. Come on. And had there been so many odis and tests like these days yes combining both he would have surely gone past 25000 runs together that is correct but playing till 43 years of age I think is bit too much asking from any batsman any time and era!!!!!!!!! 39 to 40 is max. even for his "student" played till 40. Not 43.!!!!!
@@industrialtraininginstitut6763 Boby Simpson was 42 when played his last series against India.
@@drsantoshsinghrathore9308 they don't use to play that many matches like these days else must not had continued after 38-39!!!!
Let us not forget the Sunny - Sunil Gavaskar was also a very good writer. He was able to put his cricket action in writing. Very few players could do that. Excellent player . Highly self controlled.
I AM SO BLESSED THAT MET SUNIL GAVASKER PERSONALLY WHEN HE CAME TO JAMAICA WEST INDIES UNDER BISHEN SINGH BEDI'S CAPTAINCY TO KINGSTON AND BECAUSE OF MY FRIENDSHIP WITH SPIN BOWLER CHANDRASEKHAR 8 INDIAN PLAYERS INCLUDING GREAT SUNI GAVASKER LITTLE MASTER CAME TO MY HUMBLE HOME FOR DINNER I WAS VERY LUCKY INDIAN
1 deadliest pace attack in cricket history faced without helmets.
2 red ball, broken pitches
3 bigger grounds , smaller bats
Incomparable , number one test batsman ever.
Yes people think sachin is greatest but gavaskar richards are better than him
774 runs in 4 matches
what a beast of a player he was.
They were not deadly bowlers, they were very ordinary bowlers. I am sure no one has heard their names, except that of Sobers in the below list, who was an old man in the second last year of his career.
None of Marshall, Garner, Holding, Roberts, Croft had yet debuted and Griffith and Wes Hall had retired. I am a great fan of Gavaskar, have nothing against him but the truth is that the bowling attack was very ordinary.
The bowlers in 1971:
Keith boyce
Noreiga
Shillingford
Sobers
Holder
Foster
Davis
Shepherd
Inshan Ali
Dowe
Holford

Today i can't believe that he played without helmet in front of famous west indian bowling attack..
He never played with helmet .
Sunil Gaveskar got runs in an era of fast bowlers.. That too without helmet.. Hats off to him

Sunil Gavaskar was my all time favorite. I love him.. May God preserve him for a long time to come.. Greetings from Chowdry Photography, Bangalore, India
Chasing 401 against West indies in the second innings was unbelievable
Nothin to take away from Indian batsmen but to be frank WI fielded a second rate bowling attack that day with subpar spinners and the wicket was completely flat.
The WI bowling that day didnt consist of a terrific lineup.
@@sathvikmprao1289 even against weak bowling 401 is huge pressure total
There were no fast bowlers, nothing, Clive Lloyd was himself bowling.
404
774 runs in debut,with West Indies, without HELMET.
That's because only legends know how to leave a ball. Also, the bowlers back then we're honourable not to bowl a nasty bouncer or beamer just cuz the opposition was better than them.
@@lohetvr Not true at all, many bowlers used to target the body. Players such as Norman contractor and Gavaskar himself have been hit multiple times on the head. Search the body line series and the West Indies vs England series.
@@qwertyman9560 there was a loud voice from the spectators encouraging Michel holding at times in westindies to kick off gavaskar's head with a bouncer. Westindian bowlers spared every other batsman in the world except gavasker. Equally the spectators had appreciation for Gavasker's batting genius. Infact Lord Relator sung a calypso in praise o gavaskar. The song'No one can take his wicket'...
They were not deadly bowlers, they were very ordinary bowlers. I am sure no one has heard their names, except that of Sobers in the below list, who was an old man in the second last year of his career.

Undoubtedly, Sunil Gavaskar is the greatest Indian batsman. He is also the greatest opener in the world. He faced a battery of great fast bowlers of the world.
Sunil Gavaskar is the best ever .
The real little master. Focus, concentration, work hard with determination and persistance and
u become a all time legend surpass Bradman's record of 100s and score 10000 runs first time ever against world's deadliest fast bowlers ever without a helmet. Sunil Gavaskar
Pride of india:Sunil Gavaskar❤❤❤
Greatest ever Test opening batsman produced by India. phenomenal records, deserve all praise
A SKULL CAP of plaster of paris customized... was used by him thruout his career... but post retirement during an experiment on the skullcap... it broke with the impact of the bowl... so basically a skullcap ..for namesake... it was his pure talent , body balance, eyes on ball with steady head at the time of delivery...that he could play well aall the fast bowlers of his generation with great finesse...
Used skull cap in last 3 years of career but it was useless
In 2014..Eden Garden's 150th year celebration..CAB felicitated Legendary Spin Trio.. Bishan Singh Bedi, Bhagwat Chandrasekhar, Erapalli Prasanna. during a talk show they said Sunil Gavaskar as the best Indian batsman they have seen..
"Sunil is the most complete batsman that India has produced..I don't believe any Indian batsman can be better than Sunil" Bedi said.
Prasanna said that as India did not have any quality fast bowler then, Gavaskar played the spinners at the nets, only to face the world's top pacers of those times with aplomb during Test matches.
"He played on uncovered wickets, without any protective gear but still scored over 10,000 runs. He successfully took on the great Caribbean fast bowlers like Michael Holding and Andy Roberts. Gavaskar is indeed the best Indian batsman I had seen," he said.
Comparing Gavaskar with Sachin Tendulkar, Prasanna said: "Sachin used to play with so many protective guards. But still I saw him closing his eyes or the ball striking his helmet. That's not the sign of a brave player."
What can one say about the great Sunil Gavaskar? The pioneer of Indian batting. The hero of everyone who came after him. A champion who will continue to inspire generations of young batsmen to come.
Really little master
I still remember him scoring his 10,000 runs. I watched in our Black and White TV .
The Great player of Cricket history All times Great sunny
right
That's why he's a Legend and legend aise hi nahi bante...
One of the finest batsmen .

There were no fast bowlers in that attack, a very ordinary attack.
@@NishitShukla you don't watch 70s and 80s bowlers
@@Prmk1997 I am talking about the 404 chase, in this test, West Indies had no fast bowlers.
Wonderful narration by the great Naseeruddin Shah. It's great you hear about this Great man through this great man's voice...
Oh my God,.... He is the best ever batsman in the world
absolute correct he is god of cricket
My father always tells me that there are many players, but not lile Gavaskar sir, he always told me that during that time of period the bowlers were the deadly one specially west Indies fast bowler as they love to see blood on pitch, quoted by one of there player in late 70s-80s, and Gavaskar sir scored and always play without any protection over his head. Some players are tend to born with special abilities, Gavaskar sir is meant to be the best among the good
Sm thing my father told me
Very true, that bowling without many rules, playing without helmet, Gavaskar can be rated above Sachin
Very true
Sunil Gavaskar, great Cricket,
First batsman to scrore 10,000 runs in Test Cricket, and that too witout wearing a Helmet
Legend of Indian cricket
my idol growing up...there may be greats like viv, sachin, lara, smith,kohli but only one faced deadly attacks from west indies and Australia without helmet and scored 10000 runs and 34 centuries as opening batsman..the best technical batsman ever to play cricket...hats off to only one SMG

Sunil Gavaskar best opening test batsman of India and world. 1st little master of India, best technical, best foot work and played through out career with out helmet against best dangerous fast bowler s of the world. 1st batsman to score 10,000 runs in test cricket.
No doubt he is legend
All time greatest batsman 🙏
Who wants to see a movie on the little master
Sm.Gavasker,plays more politics than cricket..
💯% box office success guaranteed!
Don't want to see another Bollywood masala bullsh*t biopic
Anyone remember his inngs in 1975 word cup (36 runs in 176 balls)
He did one movie as hero. Was a flop.
Gavaskar was not only scored 774 runs in West Indies for, but very bravely faced the great bowler like N.D.Roberts, Malcom Marshal, Colin Craft etc. Without any helmet and other safety equipments, He is undoubtedly one of the greatest opener in cricket history, salute him for his outstanding contribution.
774 runs 😲😲😲😲😲hats off
Little master 🙌🙌🙌🙌
The Legend champion Little master sunil manohar Gavaskar sir 🙏🙏🙏
26 centuries against West Indies, Australia, Pakistan, really unparalleled achievement considering quality of bowlers those teams having in those days
Show this to the young generation so they can realize , the original little master was a superman super human
There is no other brilliant cricketing mind as Sunil Gavaskar.. I am yet to see one
The great Little Master Sunil Gawaskar!
We were fortunate to have witnessed that era of greatest International cricketers played that is unmatched, in the history of Test Cricket!
Loved, the all round sprit that was rejuvenating of our era.
Yes those were the days of guts, valour and masculinity with all other unknown safety Equipments or gadgets that are use now a days I Test Matches!
That’s why the statistical comparisons whenever made with Sportsmen’s Records do not stand valid as the ‘level of playing field’ has drastically changed, specially in few games as Cricket.
No restrictions in bouncers, no helmet, no chest pad, no elbow guard, no thigh pads, ....facing a fast and furious pace bowler of the calibre.
Thank Almighty God for all the immense blessings that He has showered on all of us that we celebrated the Cricket Festivities era!
The real little master... my hero forever
Greatest Test Batsman of Cricket , even Sachin Tendulkar could not have scored 35 centuries without helmet.

Best Batsman on the earth. With due regard and respect to Sir Don I say like this because the bowlers he had faced no one can dream of.
Glad to be of the generation where we could spend the whole day watching cricket, and it was definitely a treat to watch Sunil Gavaskar, and of course the other cricketers each having a special quality.
When he left a vacuum was created I stopped watching cricket for some time. Than came Sachin Tendulkar now he too has left. Today's cricket is gulli danda. Like TV serial. I am big fan of 70mm movie.
Why not any producer thinks of making movie on Sunil Gavaskar's career? He is such fantastic opening batsman of the world.
