On its 76th anniversary, Sunil Gavaskar It is high as one of the most influential figures in the history of the Indian cricket. Gavaskar redefined the art of opening tickets for a time when Batting was a brutal challenge. He faced some of the fiercest quick bowls in history, without the protection of a modern helmet. However, his technique, temperament and tenacity raised him to an icon defined by the time. His legacy is not just races; This is the courage, class and rewriting of the fate of Foreign Indian Cricket.
Sunil Gavaskar’s test records that shaped Indian Cricket
Sunil Gavaskar’s test record is not only impressive, but is monumental. It ended with 10,122 runs in 125 tests at an average of 51.12, becoming the first cricket to cross the 10,000 mark in the format. Of his 34 hundred test, which most at the time of his retirement, 13 came against the powerful western Indies, the fearsome that the rhythm quartet terrorized the best worldwide. In fact, Gavaskar made his debut in that Fire Caribbean cauldron in 1971, scoring an impressive 774 runs in just four tests, helping India to win his first series in the West Indies.
Later he would repeat his domain, scoring four centuries in a single series against windmas, but twice. His highest test score of 236 that did not leave also appeared in Chennai in 1983, a symbol of his domain on high quality fast bowling. He was also part of the historic Indian World Cup team in 1983 and brought India to another glorious title in the 1985 World Cricket Championship in Australia. Although he carried from time to time the captain’s arm, leadership never gave him the same joy as the battle. But with the bat in hand, especially in the whites, Gavaskar was the golden level of the Grana and the Grandity India.
The post-reproach presence that is still echoed
While Gavaskar ruled in the test, his career Hate had proven fortunes. Making his one day debut in 1974, he struggled to adapt his patient style to the fastest hatred, playing 36* of 174 balls in the 1975 World Cup, an entry often ridiculed but reflected in the conservative approach of the time. He continued in this line until his penultimate hatred, when he surprised the critics of breaking a hundred hundreds against New Zealand, the fastest century hate for an Indian at that time, despite fighting a high fever.
It was his only Tona Hate, and it came when few expected it. Gavaskar finally retired in 1987, but his influence never decreased. Since then he has been an ICC party referee, chairman of the ICC Cricket Committee, BCCI’s temporary chairman, and is still an angular stone in the Cricket Comment chart. His views are sought worldwide and his articulated and honest opinions have earned him a reputation for being a trusted cricket voice. Whether in a blazer or behind a microphone, Gavaskar continues to configure the Indian cricket, not as a player, but as his increasingly colorful custodian.

Sunil Gavaskar’s first 10 iconic records that remain intact at 76
1. 774 is running in the debut test series
In 1971, Gavaskar announced his arrival on the international stage with an amazing 774 shot in only four tests against the West Indies. With an average of 154.80, he got this feat despite losing the series’s workshop due to an injury. It is still the highest aggregate by any player in his debut test series, an extraordinary record that has been without answering for more than five decades. To achieve this dominance against the battery of the Caribbean rhythm, in his own courtyard, as a newcomer, it is a feat that they can even dream of replicating.
2. 13 Centuries against West Indies
The 13 -century Gavaskar Register against the West Indies is not only a statistical wonder, but a symbol of technical excellence and courage. It flourished against a line of bowling widely considered the most fearsome in the history of the Cricket, with Malcolm Marshall, Michael Holding, Andy Roberts and Joel Garner. Making a constant score against them, often without a helmet, was not just difficult, it was almost impossible. This record is kept intact and is unlikely to break, as the rotating schedules and the protective equipment of the modern age.
3. Only the player to score a double -century test at the four tickets
Gavaskar recorded his name for Cricket’s immortality, becoming the only player in the history of the tests by scoring a double century in each of the four entries in a test game format. This bothering feat does not reflect not only its technical brightness and temperament, but also its adaptability to deliver in contexts of very different parties, either first in a fresh playing field or chasing under the pressure in the fourth entry.
- 1st input – 205 vs West Indies, Wankhede, 1978
- 2nd entry – 236 vs West Indies, Chennai, 1983*
- 3rd entry – 220 vs West Indies, Port of Spain, 1971
- 4th input – 221 vs England, Oval, 1979.
4. Most of the centuries of testing as a opener
The opening of tickets in the test cricket is probably the hardest job, facing fresh bowls with a new ball to unpredictable doctors. Gavaskar dominated it with distinction, scoring 33 of its 34 centuries of testing as a workshop and accumulating 9,607 runs at the top of the order. While legends such as Alastair Cook (31) and Matthew Hayden (30) approached, Gavaskar established the reference point during an age of hostile bowls and minimum security. Its coherence and composition in this role are practically unmatched.
5. Three cases of twin centuries in a single test
Gavaskar is the only Indian beating that has marked centuries in both entries in a three -time test game, showing its resistance and capacity to keep it focused on five long days of play. These include:
- 124 and 220 vs West Indies, Port of Spain, 1971
- 111 and 137 Vs Pakistan, Karachi, 1978
- 107 and 182* Vs West Indies, Kolkata, 1978
6 Most races of an Indian captain in a series of tests
In the 1978-79 series of six tests against the western Indies, Gavaskar led from the front, accumulating a mammoth 732 to an average of 91.50. It is still the maximum of Indian captain in a single test series. In the face of the ferocity of West India and the pressure of the pressure of the captaincy, Gavaskar’s brightness with the bat was a lighthouse of composition and domain. His actions included three centuries and a double defining, which reflects a rare mixture of individual leadership and excellence.
7. 106 consecutive proof coincidences
Between 1975 and 1987, Gavaskar played 106 consecutive test games without losing a single game. This is the longest streak of uninterrupted test appearance by any Indian cricket so far. In an age marked by hostile launches, aggressive quick bowls and a minimum protection team, this feat is a testament to the fitness, mental hardness and mental commitment of Gavaskar and the lasting commitment to the Indian cricket. Even today, no active Indian player approaches this legendary streak.
8. Most centuries in the fourth entry by an opener
One of Cricket’s hardest challenges is one of Cricket’s most difficult challenges, where the deterioration of the pitch, the pressure of the marker and the fatigue of the coincidence collide. Gavaskar is high between the elite, and has marked 4 centuries in the fourth entrance, the largest for any workshop in the history of the tests (tied with Graeme Smith). Achieve it in just 30 quarter Innings appearances shows the nerve, technique and temperament of savings of Gavaskar matches, especially valuable during the developing years of India in the world cricket.
9. Only cricket with four consecutive centuries in two different places
Gavaskar is the only player in the story of the test cricket to mark four consecutive centuries in two separate places: Port of Spain (Trinidad) and Wankhede Stadium (Mumbai). This extraordinary record shows not only its dominion under specific conditions, but also its incredible adaptability between time and circumstances. Reflect
10. Most tests are directed against West Indies, 2,749 runs in 48 tickets
In front of one of the most lethal bowling alignments in Cricket history, Gavaskar scored a surprising test of 2,749 tests against the western Indies, most of them against them. In 48 entries, he had an average of 65.45, an impressive figure considering that he faced Marshall, Holding, Garner and Roberts often without a helmet.
