Gavaskar is one of the greatest openers of all time. The legendary batsman made a name for himself for immaculate technique and constant concentration.

He began his career on a stunning note. During India’s tour of Windies in 1970-71, he scored four centuries to amass 774 runs at an average of 154 in four Tests.

Gavaskar made a record 34 Test hundreds and was the first to score 30 Test tons. Sachin Tendulkar later broke his century-record.

Gavaskar represented India in 125 Tests, scoring 10,122 runs. In 108 ODIs, the batting legend scored 3,092 runs with the help of one century and 27 fifties.
