When he was playing for university of Mumbai , he was in Pune and I had seen him in hotel vishwa near Hirabag Nehru stadium.He almost had century in every match in that tournament !
The best batsman I have seen. With due respects to all other greats. Opening, small stature, receiving end of world's fastest bowlers, no neutral Umpiring, no bouncer rule nothing. And he scored 34 test centuries.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 For me he is God of batting.
Greatest batsman and thourough gentle person.Just look at his concentration agaist any attack, and that too without helmet.Very fine interviewer Laxman, an other legend.
Actually Sunny is amazing human with lots of memories He played inter university tournaments at VALSAD against south Gujrat university my team in year 1970 he scored Tripel hundreds I meet him in Australia 2006 we were in same plane I just wish him and asked about that match . He was discussing that incident and ask about some fast bowler he remembered no of runs as well he said how he got out he has nice Chet with me that was sunny kindness and hats off of his memories. He is really a legendary best world opener batsman played world class batsman without helmet He is Sir Gavaskar.
VVS great batsman one can never forget 281 versus Australia which changed the face of cricket in India for good. Gavaskar by far the greatest Indian batsmen. Brilliant commentator & analyst best in India.
Sunil Gavaskars 236* and record broken by VVS by scoring 281 and later broken by Sehwag 309, all top scores were facing dangerous pace bowlers. See the line of pace battery these guys faced like Marshall, Garner, Holding, Robert's (By Sunil Gavaskar), Mcgraw, Bret Lee, Gillespie (by VVS), Akhtar, Mohammad Asif, Razak (by Viru).....
vvs laxman was never given thee credit he truly deserves.He was a very selfless cricketer unlike dravid and tendulkar who were run machines and could scorea lot of hundreds. But VVS was the biggest match winner in that team.Especially against Australia.VVS borke Gvaskar's record of highest test score by an indian.
I remember the first win in England ever with Ajit Wadekar as captain. Chandrasekhar did the magic if I remember correctly and it was listening of commentary on the radio.
Sunny, I grew up in South India when you were the best batsman in the World and was a big fan of Pataudi who hardly scored. If I had not spent half my school time arguing that Vishy was a better batsman than you with my friends, I would have done better in life. I look at the stats and what you have achieved and there was no doubt who was the best batsman not only in India but in the world. Today I would vote for you to bat for my life. Would love to meet you if you are in the US and would apologize to you by doing a "sashtanga namaskara" the south Indian way. It is like going for confession as a catholic!!!
Loved this response. I remember all indians arguing with me how someone from their state is better than gavaskar or later sachin and how they were selfish . Anyways i am marathi and we are unique people in mindset from rest of india ..for us india is first and it comes from shivaji maharaj
SMG the greatest cricketer of India!!! and the world too!!!! and my favorite,because he never had a good partners like now a days,he use to bat 2 days with out getting out, and till the end.and never had a helmet on the head and has face the battery of west Indies like robert,marshall.Holding,garner.the fastest bowlers of the world,plus well built like 6 feet plus
Not only that, he opened the innings, not knowing how the pitch behaves and the movement and bounce, playing against the fearsome WI pace battery, when India didn't have any fast bowlers at all. Viv came at 2 down, and so did Sachin. Gavaskar single handedly put India on the cricket map. When India was just 25 years out of Independence Gavaskar elevated every Indian to take pride and not bow down. If Cricket is religion in India, then Gavaskar is the God. The Sachins and Kohlis are equally good, but they stand on Gavaskar's shoulders. He IS the foundation of Indian batting. Oh! by the way, never got hit on the head considering that the opened and no bouncer restrictions during that era. Check with Sachin how many pings he had on his helmet, that too coming 2 down.
SUNNY BHAI's 10000 is far ahead than anyone's just because 1) No big protective gears 2) No restriction for bouncers 3) The complete batting was depended on him 4) No Medical Rehabs & Psyo's 5) Still India team was an under dog 6) No better opener on the other end 7) No video footage of any bowler 8) Paid very less and many ....
Nice. He had said more on technique on watching ball not losing eye contact and reflexes would respond like move head out of way so on. In some articles interviews I guess. May be would have been good on asking on cricketing aspects ena countries swing bounce pace so on how to play how did he play and on big players names he mentions of past many others too
How much of admiration and correct utility of Kapildev in batting and bowling for Indian team Gavaskar is talking here? I was a student during these 2 greats playing days. we used to read some articles as if these 2 are rivals and trying to harm each other. May be they had tru professional rivalry to excel and benefi the team and the country. We didn't have the term fake media then.
50 overs is ok but T20 should be abolished. It makes the game too childish and involves a very narrow aspect of the game of cricket. It's like trying to get a cheap thrill. Also, one is forced into hitting every ball for runs in T20.
sunny bhau is the same buffalo who scored 36 not out in 60 overs opening theinnings in 1975 WC frst match against England just because he did not like limited overs cricket. Huge embarassment for Indian nation
Fantastic interview. Incidentally I am a huge fan of both these legends. Enjoyed it Thoroughly.
One of the best interviews; good to know that like wine Sunny Bhai is becoming wiser...such a good mentor to Indian Cricket;
When he was playing for university of Mumbai , he was in Pune and I had seen him in hotel vishwa near Hirabag Nehru stadium.He almost had century in every match in that tournament !
Why is the crowd so dull?! I mean these are priceless memories Sunny is sharing. They all look constipated.
all are corporate slaves who are bootlickers of their bosses or thinking of promotion by giving them bj
Only Sunny can walk the talk! Simply superb and unmatched!
He was my hero. Although I gave up cricket at all after school, his determination and temperament became life skills for me to survive in my field.

Yes .you are right
Both unbelievable cricketers, both on & off the field, thorough gentleman. "Very Indian". Audience loving it.
Legend Gavaskar, we always respect your brutal honesty when it comes to passing judgement on the calibre of other cricketers
Greatest batsman and thourough gentle person.Just look at his concentration agaist any attack, and that too without helmet.Very fine interviewer Laxman, an other legend.
Great conversation!! Thanks a lot!!!

Whenever gavaskar on the crease , i was sure he will score & keep his end safe while facing any type of bowling
I remember the first win in England ever with Ajit Wadekar as captain. Chandrasekhar did the magic if I remember correctly and it was listening of commentary on the radio.
Sunny bhai best in class for opening batsman
Sunny Bhai is lucky as he was short. We were very happy seeing him on Television.
Lol wut
His mimicry skills are unbelievable!
Sunny, I grew up in South India when you were the best batsman in the World and was a big fan of Pataudi who hardly scored.

Sunny and Vishy were family gods in our house

meeta raikar if mr sunny now played then century now 72 .

The player involved with Gavaskar in Sharjah and Dickie Bird told him off was Simon O ' Donnel.
The bowler who sledged Sunny and Dickie Bird. Reprimanded him was Simon O' Donnel of Australia.
VVS far excellent in GENTLEMAN SHIP. !!
I love Sunny Gavaskar
sunil gavaskar a man who p;ayed for india on every international pitch without helmit mzny times on fast pitches and thats on fast bowlers .
गावसकर आणि लक्ष्मण दोघांनी देशा करता खूप अभिमानास्पद कामगिरी केली आहे. यात काही शंकाच नाही.
So sad his son Rohan couldn't emulate him and replicate his success
Gavaskar is a national hero
SUNNY BHAI's 10000 is far ahead than anyone's just because
1) No big protective gears
2) No restriction for bouncers
3) The complete batting was depended on him
4) No Medical Rehabs & Psyo's
5) Still India team was an under dog
6) No better opener on the other end

8) Paid very less

More technique more footwork right behind the ball and following every ball

Lot more cricket is played later than before thereby breaking all older records.

The aura around cricket is now reduced. This could only be my perception.
